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 this coral into a brighter area, and watch polyp response as it adjusts.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing water movement helps keep the polyps clear without subjecting them to constant direct flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position and allow time for adjustment before relocating it or increasing light exposure.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can gradually occupy nearby rockwork and may crowd slower-growing neighbors.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate light remain the primary daily care considerations.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the polyps regularly for their response to light, flow, and placement. Make changes gradually rather than all at once. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, trimming, or maintenance.
