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, introducing brighter conditions gradually. Avoid abrupt lighting increases, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Position it away from concentrated outlets or turbulent paths so the disc can remain open rather than being continually pushed or folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Begin in a sheltered location and adjust only gradually if the coral’s disc is not expanding normally.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading even though it is generally peaceful. Monitor nearby corals as it settles, and avoid crowding it against neighbors that need unobstructed space.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and appropriate light and flow remain the main 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 sheltered placement and gentle flow support straightforward long-term care.
