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, watching polyp response before moving it into brighter areas.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Aim for enough intermittent movement to keep the colony clear without directing a harsh, constant stream at the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can be observed easily, then make gradual placement changes only after it has adjusted.

Temperament

Allow room for expansion. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can spread over nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate lighting remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly for normal opening and response. Acclimate lighting gradually after introduction, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

Give it stable conditions, measured placement, and room to spread naturally.
