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 a gentler position, then acclimate gradually to its intended lower or middle reef placement.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Aim for enough movement to keep the colony clear without exposing it to a constant, forceful stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Give the colony room to establish, and adjust placement slowly if its response suggests it needs less or more exposure.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from areas where spreading could crowd neighboring corals. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand across nearby rockwork over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which may be offered carefully without relying on feeding as a required part of care.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony during acclimation and after placement changes. Gradually adjust lighting rather than making abrupt changes. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection when working in the aquarium.

A practical soft-coral choice for a carefully planned reef layout.
