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

Use low to moderate lighting. Begin under gentler light and acclimate gradually to help the coral adjust without sudden exposure changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Enough movement helps keep the colony clean, while excessive direct flow may keep polyps from opening comfortably.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive appropriate light and varied flow, then adjust gradually if needed.

Temperament

Keep it with generally peaceful neighbors and allow room for spreading. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand across nearby rockwork over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered occasionally without making target feeding a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp extension after introduction or adjustments. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid abrupt changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Allow time for adjustment and monitor placement as the colony settles in.
