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 the intended intensity, watching polyp response as the colony adjusts.

Flow

Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the colony clear without subjecting it to constant direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a suitable lower-light position during acclimation, then adjust placement only if its response indicates a need.

Temperament

Expect a generally peaceful coral that can spread across nearby surfaces. Leave room around the colony and plan its location so expansion does not crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the main priority.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly during acclimation. Adjust lighting slowly rather than making abrupt changes. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection whenever moving, mounting, or maintaining the coral.

Give this colony space to spread and monitor it as it settles in.
