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 prevent abrupt changes, then observe polyp response as the coral settles into its placement.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable location and adjust only gradually if its response suggests the chosen light or flow is unsuitable.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand across 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 lighting changes gradually. Observe the colony regularly for its response to placement, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or fragging.

Allow time for acclimation before making additional placement changes.
