Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate lighting gradually, then watch polyp response before moving the frag higher.
Flow
Use low to moderate, varied flow. The current should keep the colony clear without continuously blasting the polyps from one direction.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it has room to establish, and make placement changes gradually after lighting acclimation.
Temperament
Allow room for the colony to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but growth can extend into nearby corals, so leave space and monitor its boundaries.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and regular observation remain the primary care focus.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp extension, coloration, and surrounding space over time. Acclimate lighting gradually when introducing the frag or changing placement. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.
Give this zoanthid room to spread and adjust placement based on its response.
