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 frag into a system with brighter reef lighting.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to constant direct flow.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position and adjust only after observing its response to lighting and flow.

Temperament

Keep space around the colony as it grows. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but they can spread across nearby rockwork and may eventually encroach on neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered occasionally if appropriate for the overall aquarium feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony after placement or changes in lighting and flow. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or maintenance.

Allow time for acclimation before making further placement changes.
