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 gradually to avoid sudden light stress while allowing the colony to adjust to its placement.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without continuously blasting the polyps from one direction.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and flow, then give it time to settle before making adjustments.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from corals you do not want it to overtake. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can spread across nearby rockwork over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it acclimates. Adjust lighting gradually rather than making abrupt changes. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or routine maintenance.

Plan its rockwork position with future colony spread in mind.
