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

Use low to moderate lighting, then acclimate gradually to its final intensity. Slow adjustment helps this zoanthid settle without abrupt light changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear while avoiding constant forceful flow on the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time to adjust after introduction. Secure the frag where its eventual spread can be managed.

Temperament

Plan for room around the colony because zoanthids are generally peaceful but can spread over nearby rockwork. Keep growth in mind when choosing neighboring corals and mounting locations.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though some colonies accept fine foods. If offered, use small amounts and observe the polyps’ response.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for changes in polyp extension or appearance as it acclimates. Adjust lighting slowly rather than making sudden changes. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

Give it stable conditions and space to spread at its own pace.
