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. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually to prevent abrupt changes in light from stressing the colony.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle movement helps keep the colony clear without directing a harsh stream onto the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it has room to establish, then adjust placement gradually if lighting or flow needs refinement.

Temperament

Allow space for spreading. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand across nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the main priority for routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp extension after introduction or changes in placement. Acclimate lighting gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

Give this colony room to spread and monitor its placement over time.
