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 when introducing the coral. Slow adjustment helps it settle into the available light without abrupt changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement is appropriate; avoid aiming a harsh direct stream at the colony.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position and adjust only after observing its response to lighting and water movement.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from neighboring corals as it can spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but leave room for the colony to expand across nearby surfaces.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection, and make lighting or placement changes gradually rather than all at once.
