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. Start with gentler exposure and avoid abrupt lighting increases, giving the coral time to settle and expand normally.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Direct or forceful water movement can prevent the disc from expanding normally, so choose a sheltered area with gentle circulation.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually, beginning in a more sheltered position before making any changes in light or flow exposure.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over time. Leave room around its placement and monitor nearby corals as it establishes on surrounding rockwork.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but consistent lighting, gentle flow, and stable conditions remain the main care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or adjustments. Avoid sudden increases in lighting and any direct flow that keeps the coral contracted. Make changes gradually, and reassess its position if normal expansion is limited.

Give it gentle conditions and room to settle before adjusting placement.
