Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate it gradually to your aquarium lighting, then observe polyp response before making placement or intensity adjustments.
Flow
Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting its polyps to constant direct force.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure spot that allows gradual light acclimation and leaves room for future spread.
Temperament
Expect a generally peaceful coral that can spread. Give the frag space from neighboring corals and monitor its expansion so it does not overtake nearby areas.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the primary care focus.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for changes in polyp opening after introduction or adjustments. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid abrupt changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.
Allow time to settle in before changing its placement or care routine.
