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 during acclimation, then adjust gradually while watching the colony’s response.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Movement should keep the colony clear of settled debris without consistently blasting the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the coral time to acclimate to its selected location before making further lighting or placement changes.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but a growing colony can occupy nearby rockwork and encroach on neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered selectively if desired without relying on feeding as a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp extension and overall appearance after changes. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid abrupt adjustments, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Choose a stable location and leave space for the colony to expand.
