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 brighter conditions, since abrupt lighting increases can stress the coral and limit normal expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong or direct current, which can prevent the disc from expanding normally and make placement less comfortable.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and observe disc expansion before making any lighting or flow adjustments.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but allow room for it to spread. Avoid crowding neighboring corals, and monitor its space over time as it establishes.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for normal disc expansion, especially after moving the coral or adjusting lighting and flow. If expansion is reduced, check for excessive current or a sudden increase in light.

Give it gentle flow, measured light, and room to settle in.
