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 or moving it higher, then watch the colony’s response before making further changes.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location and adjust only after gradual lighting acclimation and observation.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread. Leave room around the colony and monitor nearby corals as it expands across available surfaces.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the foundation of routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response after placement or adjustments. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or other close contact.

Give it space to spread and make changes gradually.
