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 lighting increase, as abrupt changes can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can prevent the disc from expanding normally and may leave it exposed.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust only after observing normal expansion under its new conditions.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but give neighboring corals space so its expanding area does not create unwanted contact.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after introduction. Make lighting or placement adjustments gradually, and avoid directing flow at the coral. Regular observation helps identify whether its location remains suitably protected.

A protected placement and gradual acclimation support reliable day-to-day care.
