Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low to moderate varied flow
• Placement: Lower to middle reef areas
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can spread
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate lighting gradually, especially when moving it into a brighter system or changing its final position.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps avoid a stagnant placement without subjecting the colony to excessive direct flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location and adjust only after observing its response to lighting and water movement.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with its ability to spread in mind. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but allow room so the colony does not grow into neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the main foundation of routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when moving, trimming, or otherwise working near the coral.

Allow time for acclimation before making major placement or care changes.
