Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Low to moderate lighting
• Flow: Low, indirect flow
• Placement: Lower reef areas or protected rockwork
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can spread
• Care Level: Beginner to Moderate

Lighting

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving from dimmer conditions, and avoid abrupt increases that can limit normal expansion.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Position it away from direct current so the disc can expand normally without being pushed or continually folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Give it time to settle after introduction, then adjust only if expansion indicates the location is unsuitable.

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate spacing from neighboring corals. It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over nearby rockwork and gradually claim available space.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and suitable placement remain the priority.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after changes to lighting, flow, or placement. Avoid sudden adjustments, strong direct flow, and repeated handling while the coral is settling into its location.

A practical soft coral choice for lower, protected reef areas.
