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, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, and avoid abrupt increases that can prevent normal expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the disc clear while avoiding direct current that can keep it from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust only after observing consistent disc expansion.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space from neighboring corals. It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over time and may gradually claim available rockwork.

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 observe the disc for normal expansion. Avoid sudden lighting changes and direct flow, then make adjustments gradually if the coral remains contracted or appears uncomfortable in its location.

Give it a protected spot and allow time for gradual acclimation.
