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 watch the colony’s response before making further placement or lighting adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant, forceful stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the specimen where it can receive suitable light and flow while leaving room for the colony to spread.

Temperament

Plan for spreading even though zoanthids are generally peaceful. Give neighboring corals space and monitor its expansion so it does not overtake nearby rockwork or corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe the colony during acclimation and adjust only as needed based on its response. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, maintenance, or fragging.

Allow time for acclimation and monitor surrounding space as the colony spreads.
