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 the coral settle without abrupt changes in exposure.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement is preferable to a constant direct blast and helps keep the colony clear.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position and make lighting adjustments gradually as it acclimates.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but zoanthids can spread over nearby surfaces. Leave room for expansion and monitor neighboring corals so the colony does not overtake their space.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered carefully as part of regular reef maintenance.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it adjusts. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, placement, or other direct contact.

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