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, then acclimate gradually to its final intensity. Sudden increases in light can stress a zoanthid colony, so make changes slowly.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow that keeps the colony clear without constant direct blasting. Observe polyp extension and adjust circulation if the coral remains tightly closed.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time to settle after introduction. Secure the frag where its potential spread can be managed.

Temperament

Keep room around the colony because it can spread onto nearby rockwork and surfaces. It is generally peaceful, but planned spacing helps prevent it from overtaking neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and monitor the colony as it adjusts. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid abrupt changes in placement or flow, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give it stable conditions and space to spread at its own pace.
