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 avoid abrupt lighting increases, giving the coral time to adjust and expand normally.

Flow

Use low, indirect water flow. Direct or strong flow can keep the disc from expanding normally, so choose a sheltered area with gentle movement.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its chosen light level and avoid positioning it where current hits the disc directly.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but allow room for it to spread. Monitor nearby corals as it settles, and avoid crowding its placement area.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and suitable light and flow remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or adjustments. Make changes gradually, especially to lighting and flow, and relocate only if direct current or excessive light prevents normal expansion.

Give it a protected position and adjust conditions gradually.
