This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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 gentler exposure and acclimate gradually, avoiding abrupt increases that can prevent the coral from settling comfortably.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally and make placement less suitable.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Give it time to adjust after introduction, and choose a location sheltered from direct flow.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but allow room for spreading. Monitor nearby corals over time and maintain space so expansion does not crowd surrounding reef placement.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the main care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement. If the coral remains contracted, review flow and recent lighting changes before moving it. Make adjustments gradually rather than changing several conditions at once.

A protected, low-flow location supports straightforward long-term care.
