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. Acclimate lighting gradually, especially when moving the frag into a brighter established reef system.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable spot and adjust only after observing how the polyps respond to lighting and flow.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with its ability to spread in mind. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but give the colony room so it does not grow into neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered carefully without relying on feeding as a required part of care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation. Make lighting changes gradually, avoid frequent repositioning, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging or tank work.

Allow time for acclimation before making further placement or care adjustments.
