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. Acclimate gradually to brighter conditions, since abrupt lighting increases can stress the coral.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct flow so the disc can expand normally without being constantly pushed or folded.

Placement

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

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over nearby surfaces. Leave room for expansion and monitor its position around neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though occasional small foods may be accepted. Prioritize appropriate lighting, gentle flow, and normal disc expansion.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the disc regularly for normal expansion. Make lighting or placement changes gradually, and redirect flow if it prevents the coral from opening comfortably.

Give it space, gentle movement, and time to settle into placement.
