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. Acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt light changes, then observe polyp response before adjusting placement or intensity.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting its polyps to a constant harsh current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable location and allow time for lighting acclimation before making further placement changes.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand onto nearby rockwork and compete for available space.

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 observe the colony regularly for its response to light, flow, and neighboring corals. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid abrupt changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Give the colony stable conditions and room to establish its footprint.
