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, then acclimate gradually to the intended intensity. A measured transition helps the coral adjust without abrupt changes in exposure.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied water flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear while avoiding a constant, forceful stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time for lighting acclimation. Secure the frag where its spread can be monitored as it becomes established.

Temperament

Expect a generally peaceful coral, but leave room around the colony because zoanthids can spread. Plan its location with neighboring corals in mind and trim or manage expansion as needed.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it adjusts after introduction. Make lighting changes gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, maintenance, or fragging.

Give this zoanthid space to spread and monitor its placement over time.
