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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Start with subdued exposure and avoid abrupt increases, allowing the coral time to settle and expand normally.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Strong or direct current can keep the disc from expanding normally, so aim for gentle water movement around the placement area.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its chosen lighting and flow, then avoid frequent moves while it settles.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but plan nearby coral placement with its potential expansion in mind.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and suitable light and flow remain the primary focus.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after placement. Make lighting or flow changes gradually, especially if the coral appears unsettled. Avoid direct flow and sudden increases in light, and give it space to spread.

A protected, low-flow location supports steady settling and normal expansion.
