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. Acclimate gradually to any brighter position, as abrupt lighting increases can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can prevent the disc from opening and expanding as it should.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust only after observing normal expansion under its new lighting and flow.

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space from neighboring corals. It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over nearby rockwork as it establishes.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but consistent gentle lighting, flow, and placement remain the main care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after introduction or any adjustment. Make changes gradually, especially when increasing light, and redirect flow if the disc remains compressed or fails to open normally.

A practical soft coral choice for protected, lower-energy reef placement.
