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 lighting gradually, especially when introducing the plug to a brighter area of the reef.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing circulation helps keep the colony clean without subjecting it to a constant harsh stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a secure location and adjust gradually only if its response suggests a different position is needed.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but allow room for the colony to spread. Plan its placement with nearby corals in mind so expansion remains manageable.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Some colonies accept fine foods, which can be offered selectively as part of a regular reef feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the plug as it settles in. Gradual light acclimation supports a smoother transition. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, maintenance, or fragging.
