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 stress the coral and limit normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it where water movement is gentle enough for the disc to expand normally rather than being pushed by direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust only after observing consistent, normal expansion.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading over time. This coral is generally peaceful, but its ability to spread means nearby corals should have space to avoid unwanted contact.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or changes. Avoid abrupt lighting increases and direct flow, especially if the disc stays contracted or cannot expand normally.

Give it a protected spot and make changes gradually.
