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 the plug gradually to its final intensity to help it adjust without abrupt changes in exposure.

Flow

Use low to moderate varied flow. Gentle, changing movement helps keep the colony clear while avoiding excessive direct force.

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

Allow room for spread. Zoanthids are generally peaceful, but the colony can expand over nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the colony regularly as it settles in. Make lighting changes gradually, keep the plug secure, and handle zoanthids carefully with appropriate eye and skin protection during maintenance.
