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 lighting gradually, especially when moving the coral into a brighter aquarium area.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps avoid consistently blasting the polyps from one direction.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location and adjust gradually only if lighting or flow needs refinement.

Temperament

Keep space around the colony as it expands. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but they can spread onto nearby rockwork and corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered selectively without making regular feeding a requirement.

General Care

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

Allow room for growth and make changes slowly for best long-term placement.
