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. Begin with gentler exposure and acclimate lighting gradually, observing the colony as it adjusts to its position.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Aim for enough movement to keep the colony clear without directing a constant harsh stream at it.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Allow room around the colony as it settles, and make lighting changes gradually after placement.

Temperament

Keep space available for future spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand over nearby rockwork and may crowd neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for changes after placement or lighting adjustments. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or other close contact.

Give it room to settle, spread, and remain easy to observe.
