Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Use low to moderate lighting, and acclimate gradually to brighter conditions. Sudden lighting changes can stress zoanthids, so begin conservatively and observe polyp response.
Flow
Provide low to moderate, varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without directing a harsh stream at the polyps.
Placement
Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable spot and adjust placement gradually only if its response suggests it needs a change.
Temperament
Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but they can spread across nearby rockwork. Leave room around the colony and plan its location to limit unwanted expansion toward neighboring corals.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, but stable reef conditions and appropriate lighting remain the primary routine.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for changes in polyp extension or appearance. Acclimate lighting gradually, keep placement secure, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance.
Plan its placement early, then allow the colony room to spread.
