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 gradually to the aquarium’s lighting, especially after introduction, and observe the colony as it adjusts.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position and allow time to acclimate before making further placement changes.

Temperament

Keep space available for expansion. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can spread and may eventually occupy nearby rockwork or approach neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the main priority for routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Observe the colony regularly for its response to placement and flow. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when moving, mounting, or maintaining the coral.

Give this zoanthid room to settle, spread, and be observed regularly.
