Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity, especially when moving it into a brighter area of the reef.
Flow
Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without concentrating excessive direct flow on it.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a lower-light position during acclimation, then adjust placement gradually based on its response.
Temperament
Keep it spaced from corals you do not want it to overgrow. 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 primary care priority.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it settles in. Make lighting changes slowly, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.
Give it room to spread and adjust conditions gradually.
