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 and affect normal expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Keep direct current off the disc so it can expand normally without being continually pushed or folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust only gradually after observing its expansion and response.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but allow room for spreading over time. Give neighboring corals space and monitor the area as it settles into the rockwork.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, especially direct flow that keeps the coral from opening fully. Beginner to moderate care is best approached with patient acclimation and regular observation.

Give it gentle conditions, protected placement, and time to settle in.
