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. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually when moving it into brighter areas to help the colony adjust.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the polyps clear without directing excessive force at the colony.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the specimen where it can receive suitable light and flow, then allow time to adjust after placement.

Temperament

Plan for room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand across nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate lighting remain the main care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response as lighting and flow are adjusted. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid abrupt changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give the colony space, stable conditions, and time to settle in.
