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 gradually to avoid stressing the colony during placement or changes in lighting.

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 frag where it has space to expand, then allow time for it to adjust before moving it.

Temperament

Keep spacing in mind because zoanthids are generally peaceful but can spread. Plan nearby coral placement so the colony has room to grow over its surrounding rockwork.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it acclimates. Make lighting changes gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, placement, or maintenance.

Give this coral stable conditions and room to establish on its rockwork.
