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 between systems or changing its position in the reef.

Flow

Use low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting the polyps to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable location and adjust gradually only if its response suggests a different position is needed.

Temperament

Plan room for spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand across nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

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 the colony as it acclimates. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when working near or moving the coral. Avoid abrupt changes in lighting, flow, or placement.

Give this zoanthid stable conditions and space to spread over time.
