Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting, then acclimate gradually to any brighter position. Slow adjustment helps this zoanthid settle without abrupt changes in light exposure.
Flow
Use low to moderate varied flow that keeps the colony gently flushed. Avoid a constant direct blast that may prevent the polyps from extending comfortably.
Placement
Place it in the lower to middle reef areas and allow time to adjust after introduction. Secure the frag where its spread can be monitored.
Temperament
Give it room to spread across nearby rockwork. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but their growth can gradually occupy space intended for neighboring corals.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional, though some colonies accept fine foods. Focus on stable reef conditions rather than treating supplemental feeding as a requirement.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp extension as it settles in. Acclimate lighting gradually, keep placement consistent during adjustment, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.
Allow space for growth and make adjustments gradually as the colony settles.
