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 it gradually to your aquarium lighting, especially when moving it into a brighter position.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Enough movement helps keep the colony clear, while overly forceful direct flow may prevent polyps from opening comfortably.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas and allow time for acclimation. Secure the frag where its spreading growth can be monitored and managed.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with future spread in mind. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies 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 and appropriate light remain the primary routine care needs.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp opening and placement after introduction. Adjust lighting exposure gradually rather than making abrupt changes, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or frag work.

Plan its placement thoughtfully so the colony has room to spread.
