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 lighting gradually, observing the colony’s response before making placement or intensity changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light location during acclimation, then adjust gradually if its response indicates a different position is appropriate.

Temperament

Plan for room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand over nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, so offer small amounts if desired while avoiding excess food accumulation in the aquarium.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for changes in opening, color, and spread. Acclimate lighting gradually, keep flow varied, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

Give this colony space to spread and observe it regularly as it settles in.
