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 gradually to avoid abrupt changes in light intensity.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without blasting the polyps directly.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light position, then adjust gradually based on polyp response.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but a growing colony can expand onto nearby corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the main priority.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp extension as it acclimates. Make lighting changes gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

Give the colony space, stable conditions, and time to settle in.
