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 reduced exposure and acclimate lighting gradually to help the colony adjust without sudden changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear while avoiding a constant force directed at the polyps.

Placement

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

Temperament

Allow space for spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but a colony can expand across nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation and after placement changes. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when moving, cutting, or working near the coral.

Give it stable conditions and room to establish on its chosen rockwork.
