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. Begin in lower light and avoid abrupt increases, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Keep water movement gentle enough for the disc to expand normally rather than receiving a strong direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Allow time to acclimate, then adjust positioning gradually if its disc is not expanding normally.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from nearby corals as it settles and spreads. It is generally peaceful, but its ability to spread can bring it into contact with neighboring corals.

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 reef conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or changes. Avoid sudden lighting increases and direct flow, and make adjustments gradually. Check surrounding space periodically so spreading growth does not crowd nearby corals.

Give it gentle flow, stable conditions, and space to settle.
