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. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate lighting gradually, observing polyp response before moving it into brighter areas.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting its polyps to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the specimen where it can receive suitable light and varied flow, then allow time to adjust before relocating.

Temperament

Keep it with adequate room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but their growth can extend across nearby rockwork and crowd neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the primary focus for routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe polyp extension and overall appearance after placement or lighting adjustments. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

Give the colony space, stable conditions, and time to settle in.
