Care Level: Beginner to Moderate
Lighting
Provide low to moderate lighting. Start conservatively and avoid abrupt increases, allowing the coral time to adjust to its position.
Flow
Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.
Placement
Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to the chosen lighting and flow rather than moving it quickly into brighter exposure.
Temperament
Keep reasonable room around it as it settles and spreads. It is generally peaceful, but expansion can bring it into contact with neighboring corals over time.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and suitable placement remain the priority.
General Care
Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or adjustments. If the disc stays tightly contracted, reassess flow direction and recent lighting changes before making further changes.
Give it gentle conditions and time to settle into its chosen spot.
