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 lighting gradually, watching the colony’s response before moving it into brighter areas.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without exposing it to an unnecessarily forceful, constant stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and varied flow, then allow time to settle after introduction.

Temperament

Plan for room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand over nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered occasionally without making supplemental feeding a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly as it acclimates. Make lighting changes gradually, avoid abrupt placement changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give it stable conditions and space to expand across its chosen rockwork.
