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 with gentler exposure and acclimate lighting gradually, then observe polyp response before making changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Water movement should keep the colony clear without subjecting the polyps to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light location during acclimation and adjust gradually only if the colony responds well.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but allow room for it to spread. Plan nearby coral placement with future coverage in mind and monitor its boundaries over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe polyp extension, color, and surrounding growth for signs that lighting, flow, or placement should be adjusted. Handle zoanthids carefully and use appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give this zoanthid space to spread and observe it regularly as it settles in.
