Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting, then acclimate gradually to its final intensity. Slow adjustment helps the colony settle without abrupt changes in light exposure.
Flow
Use low to moderate, varied flow that gently moves water across the polyps. Avoid positioning it where a constant direct stream may keep the colony closed.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time for lighting acclimation. Secure the frag where it can be observed and where future spreading can be managed.
Temperament
Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but they can spread beyond their original plug or rock. Leave room around the colony and plan its location with neighboring corals in mind.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional, though some colonies accept fine foods. If offering food, use a light, targeted approach and observe the polyp response.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal opening and response after introduction. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid sudden environmental changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.
Give the colony stable conditions and room to settle into its chosen spot.
