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. Acclimate lighting gradually, especially when moving the coral into a brighter position, and observe its response before making further placement changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing circulation helps keep the colony clear without exposing it to a constant, forceful stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location that matches its light and flow needs, then allow time to adjust before relocating it.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with its ability to spread in mind. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can gradually occupy nearby rockwork and encroach on neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered carefully without relying on feeding as a required part of care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for changes in polyp appearance after adjustments to lighting, flow, or placement. Handle zoanthids carefully and use appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or fragging.

Give the colony room to spread and monitor surrounding coral space over time.
