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, then acclimate it gradually to its final intensity. Slow adjustment helps avoid abrupt light stress when moving it into a new reef.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow that keeps the colony clear without blasting it directly. Avoid stagnant areas where debris can settle around the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time to adjust after introduction. Start with a stable position rather than moving it repeatedly.

Temperament

Keep space available around the colony as it can spread over nearby rockwork. It is generally peaceful, but growth can gradually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though some colonies accept fine foods. Prioritize stable conditions and observe polyp response if offering food.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal extension and debris buildup. Acclimate lighting gradually, especially after shipping or major system changes. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, fragging, or maintenance.

Give it room to spread and make adjustments gradually.
