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

Use low to moderate lighting. Begin under gentler light and acclimate gradually to prevent abrupt changes while finding its preferred exposure.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the specimen where it can receive suitable light and flow, then allow time to adjust.

Temperament

Keep room for it to spread over time. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but their growth can bring them into contact with neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered sparingly if desired without relying on feeding as a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony after placement or adjustments. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid sudden environmental changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Allow gradual acclimation and give the colony space to expand.
