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. Acclimate lighting gradually, especially when moving the coral into a brighter position, and observe its response before making further adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant, forceful stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location that matches its light needs, then allow time for acclimation before relocating.

Temperament

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

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for changes after placement or lighting adjustments. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or routine aquarium work.

Allow room to spread and make changes gradually as the colony settles in.
