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 before moving to a brighter area, because abrupt lighting increases can limit normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong or direct water movement, which can prevent the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Begin in a sheltered spot and make adjustments gradually after observing its expansion and response.

Temperament

Allow space around it as it settles and spreads. It is generally peaceful, but spreading into nearby coral territory can lead to unwanted contact over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, while suitable placement and stable conditions remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the disc for normal expansion. Avoid sudden lighting changes, direct flow, and frequent repositioning. Give it time to adjust after introduction or placement changes before making further adjustments.

Sheltered placement and gradual acclimation support consistent long-term care.
