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 lighting gradually, especially when moving the coral into a brighter position, and observe its response before making further changes.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing water movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location and allow time for acclimation before considering a different position.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with its ability to spread in mind. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but leave room around the colony so expanding polyps do not overtake neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Observe polyp response to lighting, flow, and placement, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

Give this colony room to spread and monitor its placement over time.
