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 it gradually to its final light level to help the colony adjust without unnecessary stress.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied water flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear while avoiding a constant harsh stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable mounting location and make lighting adjustments gradually after introduction.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but allow room for it to spread over time. Plan neighboring coral placement accordingly so expanding growth does not crowd nearby specimens.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered occasionally if desired as part of normal reef maintenance.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it acclimates. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection, and avoid frequent relocation once a suitable position is established.

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