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. Begin with gentler exposure and acclimate lighting gradually, watching the colony’s response before making placement changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Enough movement helps keep the colony clear of settling debris without subjecting it to constant direct force.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it has room to establish, then adjust gradually if its response suggests a different position.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around the colony because zoanthids can spread. They are generally peaceful, but planning boundaries on the rockwork helps prevent them from reaching neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate placement remain the main care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Observe the colony regularly for its response to flow, light, and nearby growth. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or routine maintenance.

Plan its rockwork space early and allow gradual adjustment after placement.
