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. Begin with gentler exposure and acclimate lighting gradually, watching polyp response before making placement or intensity changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Water movement should gently reach the colony without continuously blasting or folding the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start in a lower-light position during acclimation, then adjust only gradually if the coral responds well.

Temperament

Keep space available for future spread. 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 and appropriate light and flow remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly for polyp response. Make lighting changes slowly, avoid abrupt placement shifts, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Plan its rockwork position with room for gradual colony expansion.
