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 lower light and increase exposure gradually, avoiding abrupt lighting changes that can limit normal disc expansion.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear while avoiding direct current that prevents the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Allow time to acclimate after placement, especially when moving into brighter areas.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space from nearby corals. It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over surrounding rockwork and gradually occupy available space.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and suitable lighting and flow remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after changes to lighting, flow, or placement. If the disc stays contracted, reduce direct exposure and reassess its location. Introduce adjustments gradually rather than changing several conditions at once.

Give it gentle flow, gradual acclimation, and room to spread.
