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. Slow adjustment helps the colony settle without abrupt changes in exposure.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow that keeps the colony clear of debris. Avoid a constant direct blast that may keep the polyps from opening comfortably.

Placement

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

Temperament

Allow room for the colony to spread over time. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but planning open space around the frag helps manage future growth near neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp extension as the coral settles in. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid sudden changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or fragging.

Give this coral a stable spot and room to spread naturally.
