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, and acclimate it gradually to the intended intensity. Slow light adjustment helps the colony settle without abrupt changes.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow rather than a constant direct blast. Gentle movement helps keep the colony clear while allowing its polyps to remain open.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and adjust gradually after introduction. Secure the frag where its spread can be monitored over time.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but leave room around nearby corals because zoanthids can spread. Plan placement with future coverage in mind and trim or manage growth as needed.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though some colonies accept fine foods. If offered, use small amounts and observe the colony’s response.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch polyp extension, appearance, and nearby growth. Acclimate lighting gradually, avoid sudden environmental changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection.

Allow time for acclimation and monitor placement as the colony expands.
