Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually to brighter conditions, watching polyp extension and overall appearance as it adjusts.
Flow
Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting its polyps to a constant direct blast.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it has room to establish, then make lighting adjustments gradually rather than moving it repeatedly.
Temperament
It is generally peaceful, but it can spread across nearby rockwork. Leave space around the colony and plan its location so expansion does not crowd neighboring corals.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, so occasional targeted feeding may be offered if appropriate for the aquarium’s normal feeding routine.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation. Avoid sudden lighting changes, keep detritus from settling on the polyps, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.
A straightforward soft coral choice for thoughtfully planned reef placement.
