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 gentler exposure and acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt changes in light intensity.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light position during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually if needed.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread across nearby rockwork. Leave room around the colony and monitor its expansion near corals you want to keep separate.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it acclimates. Avoid sudden lighting or flow changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

Allow space for gradual spread and make adjustments slowly as the colony settles in.
