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. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually, watching the colony’s response before moving it into brighter areas.

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 the lower to middle reef areas. Allow time for lighting acclimation, then adjust placement gradually if the colony’s response suggests a change is needed.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around the colony because it can spread over nearby rockwork. It is generally peaceful, but planning its location helps prevent unwanted encroachment on neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate light and flow remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly as it settles in. Acclimate lighting gradually rather than making abrupt changes. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

Give this colony room to settle and monitor its response after placement.
