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 any increase in intensity, as abrupt lighting changes can stress its ability to expand normally.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it away from concentrated outlets and strong current so the disc can expand without being continually pushed or folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location, then observe expansion before making any placement adjustments.

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space from neighboring corals. It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over time and may gradually occupy nearby rockwork.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after introduction or relocation. Avoid abrupt lighting increases and direct flow, then adjust placement gradually if it remains contracted or cannot settle comfortably.

Allow time to settle and evaluate placement through regular observation.
