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. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate gradually to avoid stressing the colony during placement or after changes in lighting.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it has room to spread, then allow time to adjust before moving it again.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread across surrounding surfaces. Leave space from corals you want to keep separate and monitor its expansion over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the foundation of routine care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response after changes in lighting, flow, or placement. Acclimate lighting gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or fragging.

Give this zoanthid stable conditions and space to grow across its chosen surface.
