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

Use low to moderate lighting, and acclimate gradually to any increase in intensity. Starting lower in the reef helps the colony adjust before moving it upward if needed.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting its polyps to a constant harsh stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas with suitable room around the colony. Secure the frag firmly, then allow time for it to settle before making placement changes.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from neighboring corals as it can spread over nearby surfaces. It is generally peaceful, but plan its location so expanding polyps do not crowd other colonies.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies 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. Make lighting changes gradually, avoid frequent repositioning, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

A stable placement and patient acclimation support straightforward long-term care.
