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, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, and avoid abrupt lighting increases that can limit normal expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position the coral away from direct currents so its disc can expand normally rather than being continually pushed or folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Give it time to settle after introduction, then adjust only if lighting or flow prevents normal disc expansion.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but allow room for spreading. Plan nearby coral placement with future expansion in mind and avoid crowding its available 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 reef conditions and observe disc expansion after any change. Avoid sudden increases in light and direct flow, and make placement adjustments gradually rather than repeatedly moving the coral.

A steady, protected placement supports consistent care and normal expansion.
