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 avoid sudden light changes, then observe polyp response before adjusting placement.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without continually blasting the polyps.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position and adjust slowly after lighting acclimation if the colony’s response calls for it.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand across nearby rockwork and may crowd neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for consistent polyp opening and avoid abrupt shifts in light or flow. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.
