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 avoid abrupt changes. Start in a gentler area and observe its response before moving it higher.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow that keeps the colony clear without constant direct blasting. Adjust circulation if debris settles or the polyps remain tightly closed.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with room to spread over time. Secure the frag where it can receive consistent light and varied water movement.

Temperament

Allow space around the colony because it is generally peaceful but can spread onto nearby rockwork. Plan its location with neighboring corals in mind as the colony expands.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting changes gradually. Observe polyp extension, debris accumulation, and nearby coral spacing regularly. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when moving, cutting, or securing the frag.

A practical soft-coral choice for a thoughtfully planned reef layout.
