Zoanthid Placement & Care...

Believe it or not, I finally got my first Zoanthid today. I know they grow rapidly, but I was wondering if there are any specific requirements: flow, light, feeding... that I need to know about?

Thanks,
Chris

Re: Zoanthid Placement & Care...

Zoanthids are pretty hardy and adjust to most conditions... Medium lighting to medium flow is always good.

Re: Zoanthid Placement & Care...

Thanks Daniel, I'll do that! Right now I have them 3/4 to the top in my NanoCube 12dx (48w PC), with low / zero flow. Should I move them to an area with better flow, or just leave them for a day or so to see what happens?

Re: Zoanthid Placement & Care...

zero flow is not too good.... try move them to place with some flow.....it helps to clean and brings food

Re: Zoanthid Placement & Care...

Thanks for the info Sebastian... I just moved them to an area with better flow, but it is a bit lower in the tank.... I don't think that should be an issue though.

Thanks,
Chris
