Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Start the frag under gentler exposure, then acclimate it gradually to its final lighting position while watching its response.
Flow
Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting the polyps to a constant direct blast.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and varied flow, then avoid frequent moves during acclimation.
Temperament
Keep it with room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand across nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered carefully without relying on feeding as a requirement.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Observe polyp extension and overall condition after introduction, and adjust placement only when needed. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging or repositioning.
Give this frag a stable spot and allow time for gradual adjustment.
