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 lower exposure during acclimation, then adjust gradually while observing how the colony responds.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Enough movement helps keep the colony clear, while overly forceful direct flow should be avoided.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it has suitable light and leave space for future spread.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but zoanthids can spread across nearby rockwork. Give the colony room and plan neighboring coral placement to prevent unwanted encroachment.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Observe the colony regularly for its response to placement and flow. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when moving or securing the frag.

A well-planned placement helps this zoanthid remain easy to manage as it spreads.
