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 changes.
Flow
Use low to moderate, varied flow. Water movement should keep the colony clear without subjecting the polyps to a constant direct blast.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Secure the frag where it can receive suitable light and flow, allowing time to adjust after introduction.
Temperament
Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but they can spread over nearby rockwork. Leave room around the frag and plan its location to keep expansion away from corals you want to protect.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the foundation of routine care.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch polyp extension and overall appearance as the coral settles in, and adjust placement only when needed. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging or maintenance.
Give this colony space to settle before evaluating its placement.
