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. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate lighting gradually, then observe the colony’s response before making placement adjustments.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Enough movement helps keep the polyps clear, while overly forceful direct flow is best avoided.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Allow the coral time to adjust after introduction, especially when moving it into brighter conditions.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread across nearby rockwork. Leave room for expansion and monitor its boundaries around neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the main priority.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch polyp response as it settles in. Make lighting changes gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully using appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or fragging.

Give it room to spread and observe it regularly as it settles.
