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, then acclimate gradually to the final intensity. Slow adjustment helps this zoanthid settle without an abrupt change in light exposure.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied water flow. Aim for gentle movement around the colony rather than a constant direct stream focused on the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time to adjust after introduction. Begin with a suitable lower placement if the tank lighting is unfamiliar.

Temperament

Allow room for future spread, even though zoanthids are generally peaceful. Keep its growth in mind when choosing nearby corals and when planning the rockwork.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it acclimates. Gradually adjust lighting rather than making sudden changes. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, maintenance, or fragging.

Give it stable conditions and room to spread across its chosen area.
