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 it gradually to its final intensity. Slow adjustment helps avoid unnecessary stress when moving the coral into an established reef.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Water movement should be gentle enough for the polyps to remain comfortable while preventing debris from settling around the colony.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a suitable lower position during light acclimation, then observe polyp response before making placement changes.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but leave room for it to spread across nearby rockwork. Plan its location thoughtfully so expanding growth does not crowd neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate lighting and flow remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal polyp response after introduction or relocation. Acclimate lighting gradually, keep the surrounding area clear of accumulating debris, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give it stable conditions and room to spread on its chosen rockwork.
