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

Use low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and increase gradually as needed, allowing the coral time to acclimate to your aquarium’s lighting.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps avoid stagnant areas without subjecting the colony to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and flow, while leaving open substrate or rock space for future spread.

Temperament

Allow room around the colony because zoanthids are generally peaceful but can spread. Keep growth in mind when placing neighboring corals, especially on shared rockwork.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation. Adjust lighting gradually rather than making abrupt changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

Plan its placement carefully to accommodate gradual colony spread.
