Care Level: Moderate – suitable for hobbyists with some experience in coral husbandry.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain the coral’s vivid colours and healthy growth. LED or T5 lighting systems are ideal.
Water Flow: Moderate water flow helps prevent detritus accumulation and promotes polyp extension without causing stress.
Placement: Place in a location with moderate light and flow, avoiding direct strong currents. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions, as Zoanthus spp. can exhibit chemical defences.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, deriving energy from symbiotic zooxanthellae, but will benefit from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to avoid contact with other corals due to potential allelopathic effects.
Origin: Not Provided – tank-bred specimens ensure sustainability and reduced wild collection impact.
Maximum Size: Not Provided – typically remains small to medium in reef tanks depending on growth conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: 30 litres (8 gallons) recommended to maintain stable water parameters.
