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, and acclimate gradually to any increase in intensity. A measured transition helps the coral adjust without unnecessary stress.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied water flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear while avoiding a consistently harsh blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time for light acclimation. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable flow without being directly exposed to strong currents.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with future growth in mind. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can spread across nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, so occasional targeted feeding may be offered if desired without making it a requirement.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation and after placement changes. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when moving, mounting, or maintaining the frag.

Give it room to spread and adjust placement as the colony develops.
