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 before adjusting placement or intensity.
Flow
Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without directing a constant hard stream at it.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position and allow time for lighting acclimation before moving it higher.
Temperament
Generally peaceful, but allow room for the colony to spread over time. Plan nearby coral placement with its potential expansion in mind.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered sparingly if desired without relying on feeding as a requirement.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for normal polyp response after adjustments to light, flow, or placement. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.
Give this coral steady conditions and room to establish in the reef.
