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 sudden lighting changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without continuously blasting the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive appropriate light and flow, then allow time to adjust.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from areas where spreading would be unwanted. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand across nearby rockwork over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the primary care priority.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response after placement or lighting adjustments. Acclimate lighting gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or frag work.

A practical soft coral choice for a thoughtfully planned reef layout.
