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 in gentler light and avoid abrupt increases, giving the coral time to adjust before moving it brighter.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it on the lower reef or in protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its position and observe disc expansion before considering any adjustment.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but spacing helps prevent it from crowding nearby corals as it establishes.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after placement. Avoid sudden lighting changes and redirect flow if the coral appears unable to open fully. Make changes gradually, then allow time to observe its response.

Give it gentle conditions and space to settle into the reef.
