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. Acclimate gradually to new light levels, then observe polyp response before making further placement changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting its polyps to constant direct force.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location and adjust only after gradual lighting acclimation and observation.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over nearby surfaces. Leave room for expansion and monitor neighboring corals so the colony does not encroach on them.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch polyp extension, color, and surrounding space as the colony settles. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or routine maintenance.

Give it space to spread and adjust conditions gradually.
