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. Acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt changes, then observe polyp response and adjust placement only as needed.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without directing harsh, constant flow at the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location and allow time for lighting acclimation before moving it higher.

Temperament

Keep room for spreading. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand across nearby rockwork and may crowd neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the primary basis for routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for changes in polyp extension or appearance. Acclimate lighting gradually, keep the frag secure, 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.
