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. Introduce brighter conditions gradually, as abrupt lighting increases can stress the coral and interfere with normal expansion.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can prevent the disc from expanding normally and make protected placement more suitable.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Allow time to settle after introduction, and adjust placement only gradually if its disc is not expanding normally.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over nearby rockwork. Leave room around its placement and monitor its expansion so it does not encroach on neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or lighting adjustments. Avoid abrupt changes, especially increased light or direct flow, and give the coral time to respond before making further changes.

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