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. Start the frag under gentler light and acclimate gradually before moving it higher if needed.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Enough movement helps keep the colony clear of debris without constantly blasting the polyps.

Placement

Place it in the lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive appropriate light and room to spread over time.

Temperament

This zoanthid is generally peaceful, but it can spread. Leave space between the colony and slower-growing neighbors, and monitor its expansion as it establishes.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response after changes in lighting, flow, or placement. Acclimate lighting gradually, keep the colony free of accumulated debris, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give this frag room to settle and monitor its spread regularly.
