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. Begin under gentler light and acclimate gradually before moving it toward brighter areas within its recommended range.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting its polyps to constant direct flow.

Placement

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

Temperament

Keep it spaced from corals you want to protect from spreading. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand across nearby rockwork over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response as the colony settles in. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid abrupt changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

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