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. Start with gentler exposure and avoid abrupt increases, allowing the coral time to adjust and maintain normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Direct or strong flow can keep the disc from expanding normally, so aim for gentle water movement around its placement.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its chosen light and flow conditions rather than moving it quickly into brighter, exposed areas.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but give neighboring corals space and monitor its placement as it establishes.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the main care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after introduction or adjustments. Avoid sudden lighting changes and redirect flow if the disc remains compressed or cannot expand normally. Make changes gradually and give the coral time to respond.

A protected, gently lit location supports straightforward long-term care.
