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 areas, as abrupt lighting increases can stress the coral and keep the disc from expanding normally.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it where water movement is gentle rather than direct, allowing the disc to expand without being pushed or folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and observe disc expansion before considering any gradual move.

Temperament

Allow room around this generally peaceful coral because it can spread over nearby rockwork. Avoid placing it where expansion could crowd neighboring corals over time.

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 introduction. Avoid abrupt changes in lighting or direct flow, and give the coral time to settle before changing its placement. This care profile is suitable for beginner to moderate experience levels.

Give it gentle flow and a protected spot to settle in.
