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 it gradually to the intended intensity, especially when moving it into a brighter established reef.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a location that matches its light and flow needs, then allow time to adjust before making changes.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread. Leave room around the colony and monitor its expansion so neighboring corals retain their intended space.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly for its response to placement. Make lighting changes gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or relocation.

Give this zoanthid room to spread and adjust placement gradually.
