Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and acclimate lighting gradually to help the colony adjust without sudden stress.
Flow
Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear while avoiding constant force directly on the polyps.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Begin in a lower-light location, then adjust placement gradually based on how the polyps respond.
Temperament
Keep it spaced from corals you want to protect. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but they can spread across nearby rockwork and compete for available room.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies may accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate light remain the primary care focus.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal polyp response as the coral settles in. Make lighting changes gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, maintenance, or fragging.
Give this colony room to settle and monitor its spread over time.
