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

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, to avoid abrupt lighting increases.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct flow so the disc can expand normally rather than being continually pushed or folded.

Placement

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

Temperament

Give it room to spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but nearby corals should have space so expansion does not create unwanted contact.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the disc regularly for normal expansion. Make lighting or flow changes gradually, and reposition if direct current prevents the coral from opening comfortably.

A practical soft-coral choice for a carefully planned lower reef area.
