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 gradually to avoid sudden light changes, then observe polyp extension and appearance when choosing its final intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle movement helps keep the colony clear without concentrating a direct stream on the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable location and adjust gradually only if observation suggests it needs different light or flow.

Temperament

Keep space around the colony as it grows. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but they can spread onto 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 focus for routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Monitor the colony after acclimation and during routine maintenance. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when moving, cutting, or working near the coral.

Allow room for spread and observe placement as the colony settles in.
