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 sudden light stress as the colony adjusts to your system.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle water movement helps 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 can receive appropriate light and flow, then allow time to adjust before moving it.

Temperament

Give it room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand over nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and suitable lighting remain the primary day-to-day needs.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation. Make lighting changes gradually, monitor surrounding space as it spreads, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Allow the frag time to settle before making further placement changes.
