Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate it gradually to the intended intensity, especially when moving it into a brighter reef area.
Flow
Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the polyps clear without exposing them to an overly forceful direct stream.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable position and adjust only after observing how the polyps respond to lighting and water movement.
Temperament
Keep it spaced with room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand over nearby rockwork and may crowd neighboring corals over time.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the primary basis for routine care.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response after placement or adjustments. Gradually acclimate lighting, avoid frequent changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or fragging.
Allow room for the colony to spread as it settles into the reef.
