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, then acclimate gradually to its final intensity. Sudden increases can stress zoanthids, so observe polyp response and adjust placement only as needed.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied water flow that keeps the colony clear without blasting the polyps directly. Gentle changing movement is preferable to a constant harsh stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time to settle after introduction. Start in gentler light, then move gradually only if its response indicates a change is needed.

Temperament

Keep nearby space available for future spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but a growing colony can gradually occupy adjacent rock and compete with neighboring corals for room.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate light remain the primary day-to-day care considerations.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal polyp response during acclimation. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection, and avoid unnecessary disturbance once the frag has been placed.

Allow steady conditions and gradual acclimation for reliable long-term placement.
