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 light changes, then observe polyp extension and appearance as it settles.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, indirect movement helps keep debris from settling without subjecting the polyps to a constant harsh blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light position during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually if its response indicates a different position is needed.

Temperament

Keep space around the colony because it can spread across nearby rockwork. It is generally peaceful, but planning its placement helps prevent it from overtaking neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, so occasional targeted feeding may be offered if desired without making it a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Monitor the colony after placement or lighting adjustments, keep its growing area clear, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Allow time to settle, then maintain consistent placement and stable conditions.
