Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate the frag gradually to its final intensity, especially when moving it into a brighter established reef.
Flow
Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clean without directing harsh flow at the polyps.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure position and adjust only after the colony has time to respond to its lighting and flow.
Temperament
Keep it spaced with room to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but their growth can gradually occupy nearby rockwork and crowd slower-growing neighbors.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate placement remain the primary care considerations.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response after changes in placement, lighting, or flow. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during fragging, moving, or routine maintenance.
Allow time for acclimation before making further placement adjustments.
