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 any increase in intensity, since abrupt lighting changes can stress the coral and limit normal expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Gentle movement keeps the area from becoming stagnant without blasting the disc or preventing it from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position and adjust only after observing consistent expansion under its new lighting and flow.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but give neighboring corals space so expansion does not create unwanted contact.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable placement, suitable light, and gentle flow remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the disc for normal expansion. Avoid abrupt lighting increases and direct water movement, and make placement changes gradually rather than repeatedly moving the coral through the aquarium.

A protected lower-reef location supports simple, consistent care.
