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, and increase exposure gradually if needed. Avoid abrupt lighting increases, which can make acclimation more difficult.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow that allows the disc to expand normally. Avoid strong or direct current aimed at the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and acclimate gradually to its final lighting and flow.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over nearby surfaces. Leave room around it and monitor neighboring corals as it establishes.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though it may accept occasional small foods. Keep feeding modest and observe its response.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal disc expansion. Adjust placement if direct flow prevents expansion, and make lighting changes slowly rather than moving it abruptly into brighter conditions.

A practical soft coral choice for sheltered, lower-flow reef placement.
