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 gradually to avoid abrupt changes, then observe the colony’s response before adjusting placement or intensity.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin with a stable location and adjust slowly only if lighting or flow needs refinement.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with its ability to spread in mind. It is generally peaceful, but allow room around the colony so it does not overtake nearby corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for normal polyp response after adjustments to light, flow, or placement. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

A practical soft-coral choice for a carefully maintained reef aquarium.
