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. Acclimate lighting gradually, especially when moving the coral into a brighter position, and observe its response before making further adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, shifting movement helps avoid a stagnant area without subjecting the colony to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable location and adjust placement gradually only if its lighting and flow response indicates a change is needed.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with its tendency to spread in mind. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but leave room around the colony to manage expansion near neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe the colony regularly for its response to light, flow, and nearby growth. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

Give this zoanthid room to settle, spread, and be monitored over time.
