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 moving the plug into a brighter area, and observe polyp response as it settles.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting the polyps to a constant, forceful stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start with a stable position, then allow time for the colony to adjust before making further placement changes.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but leave room for spreading. Monitor nearby corals and the surrounding rockwork so expanding zoanthids do not crowd neighboring placements.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for polyp extension and overall response after acclimation or repositioning. Handle zoanthids carefully, using appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance or fragging.

Give the colony space, stable conditions, and time to settle in.
