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 brighter placement, as abrupt lighting increases can stress the coral.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Give it time to settle after introduction before changing its position or lighting.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but allow room for it to spread. Plan neighboring coral placement with future expansion in mind.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the priority.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion as it settles in. Adjust lighting or flow gradually if needed, and avoid directing flow at the coral. Regular observation helps identify whether its chosen placement is working.

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