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. Begin with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually to avoid sudden light stress, then adjust placement based on its response.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing current helps keep the colony clear without directing a constant harsh stream at the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and varied flow, then allow time to adjust before moving it.

Temperament

Expect a generally peaceful coral, but leave room for it to spread across nearby rockwork. Plan its location with future expansion in mind and avoid letting it overtake neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the primary focus for routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response after introduction or changes in lighting and flow. Acclimate lighting gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

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