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 gradually when introducing it to brighter conditions, then observe polyp response before making further placement changes.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas to start. Secure the frag where it has room to expand, and adjust slowly if its response suggests a different position.

Temperament

Keep space around the colony as it spreads. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but their growth can gradually occupy nearby rockwork and crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting or placement changes gradually. Observe the polyps regularly for response to flow and light. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or routine maintenance.

Allow room for gradual spread and monitor neighboring coral placement.
