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 and acclimate lighting gradually, watching the coral’s response before making placement adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps avoid stagnant areas without subjecting the colony to constant direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light location during acclimation, then adjust only gradually if the coral responds well.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand across nearby rockwork and may crowd neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions can support routine care without target feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it settles in. Make lighting changes gradually, keep the surrounding rockwork manageable as it spreads, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.
