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 gradually to brighter conditions and observe polyp response as it settles into the reef.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps avoid a stagnant area without subjecting the polyps to constant direct force.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin with a suitable lower position during acclimation, then adjust only if its response indicates a different spot is needed.

Temperament

Keep it with generally peaceful neighbors, while allowing room for it to spread across its mounting surface. Monitor nearby corals as the colony expands.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which may be offered carefully without relying on feeding as a required part of care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Observe polyp extension and nearby growth, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

Allow space for growth and make changes gradually as it settles in.
