Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate lighting gradually, then observe polyp response before making placement or intensity changes.
Flow
Use low to moderate, varied flow. Enough movement helps keep the colony clear of settled debris without continuously blasting the polyps from one direction.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light position during acclimation, then adjust only gradually if its response suggests a different spot is needed.
Temperament
It is generally peaceful, but can spread across nearby rockwork. Allow room for expansion and monitor neighboring corals so the colony stays within its intended area.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered sparingly while maintaining clean, stable reef conditions.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the polyps regularly for changes after acclimation or placement adjustments. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when moving, mounting, or maintaining the coral.
Give it space to spread and make changes gradually.
