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 to help the colony adjust before moving it into brighter areas.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the polyps clear without directing a forceful stream at the colony.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light position during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually based on polyp response.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand onto nearby rockwork and may crowd neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it settles in. Acclimate lighting gradually, keep flow varied but moderate, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or repositioning.

Give it space to expand and adjust placement gradually as needed.
