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. Start under gentler light, then acclimate gradually if needed; abrupt lighting increases can keep the disc from expanding normally.
Flow
Provide low, indirect flow. Position it where water movement is gentle rather than aimed directly at the disc, allowing normal expansion without constant turbulence.
Placement
Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give the specimen time to settle after introduction, and avoid exposed locations with strong direct water movement.
Temperament
It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over nearby surfaces. Leave room around its intended area and monitor neighboring corals as it establishes and expands.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the primary care priorities.
General Care
Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or changes in lighting and flow. Make adjustments gradually, especially when increasing light, and redirect water movement if direct flow prevents normal expansion.
A protected lower-reef position supports straightforward long-term care.
