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. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity, especially when moving it into a brighter established reef area.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting its polyps to a constant direct blast.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location and adjust only after it has had time to acclimate to the aquarium’s lighting and flow.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but colonies can expand across nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe polyp response as it settles in. Acclimate lighting gradually, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, maintenance, or fragging.

Give it stable conditions and room to expand on its chosen rockwork.
