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. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate lighting gradually to help the colony adjust.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the colony clear without directing a constant harsh stream at it.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light position, then adjust placement gradually only after observing its response.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread across nearby surfaces. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but growth can bring the colony into contact with neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered carefully as part of normal reef feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it acclimates. Make lighting changes gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement or maintenance.

Give it space, stable conditions, and time to settle into the reef.
