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, acclimating gradually to the intended intensity. Sudden increases can stress zoanthids, so begin with gentler exposure and observe the colony’s response.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow that keeps the colony clear without constant direct pressure. Adjust placement if polyps remain tightly closed or debris settles around the frag.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time to adjust after introduction. Secure the frag where its spreading habit can be monitored and managed.

Temperament

Keep it with generally peaceful neighbors, while allowing room for the colony to spread. Zoanthids are not typically aggressive, but their growth can gradually occupy nearby rockwork.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though some colonies accept fine foods. If feeding, use small amounts and avoid leaving excess food or detritus around the frag.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe polyp extension, tissue condition, and nearby growth over time. Acclimate lighting carefully, and use appropriate eye and skin protection whenever handling zoanthids.

Give it stable conditions, measured flow, and room to spread.
