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 and acclimate gradually to avoid sudden changes. Start in gentler light, then observe polyp response before making adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Water movement should keep the colony clear without directing a constant, forceful stream at the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas, ideally where lighting and flow are easy to adjust. Give the frag time to settle before moving it.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around the colony as it is generally peaceful but can spread across nearby rockwork. Plan its location with future coverage in mind.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate lighting remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal polyp extension after introduction. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid abrupt environmental changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

Observe its response and adjust placement gradually as the colony settles.
