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

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate lighting gradually, especially when moving the plug into a brighter established reef system.

Flow

Provide low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear without subjecting it to a constant harsh stream.

Placement

Place it in lower to middle reef areas. Start in a suitable lower-light location and adjust gradually only after observing its response.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with future spread in mind. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand onto nearby rockwork or toward neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony as it acclimates. Make lighting changes slowly, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during placement, maintenance, or fragging.

Allow room for gradual spread when planning its long-term location.
