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 abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle movement helps keep the colony clear without concentrating flow directly on the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and varied water movement, then allow time to adjust.

Temperament

Plan room for spreading. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand over nearby rockwork and may compete with neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it settles in. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid sudden changes in placement, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give the colony space, stable conditions, and time to settle.
