Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate lighting gradually, then observe the colony’s response before making placement or intensity changes.
Flow
Use low to moderate varied flow. Enough movement helps keep the colony clear of settled debris, while overly forceful, direct flow should be avoided.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the specimen where it can receive suitable light and varied flow, allowing time to adjust after introduction.
Temperament
Keep it spaced with future spread in mind. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand across nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate light and flow remain the primary care focus.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for changes in polyp opening, debris accumulation, and nearby coral competition. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, fragging, or maintenance.
Give the colony room to spread and monitor its placement over time.
