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. Begin in gentler light and increase exposure gradually only if needed, avoiding abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it where water movement is gentle enough for the disc to expand normally rather than receiving a direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Allow time to acclimate after introduction, especially when adjusting to different lighting or water movement.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from nearby corals as it can spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but leave room for expansion and avoid crowding neighboring colonies.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after placement. Avoid abrupt increases in lighting and direct flow that keeps the disc from opening normally. Make changes gradually, then give the coral time to respond.
