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 to any increase in intensity, as abrupt lighting changes can prevent the disc from expanding normally.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally and may cause the coral to remain withdrawn.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust only after observing normal disc expansion.

Temperament

Allow space around this generally peaceful coral. It can spread over time, so avoid placing it where expansion could crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or adjustments. Make changes gradually, especially when increasing lighting or altering flow, and keep direct current off the coral.

Give it a protected location and monitor its expansion as it settles.
