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, and increase exposure gradually to avoid abrupt changes that can stress the coral.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow that gently moves water around the disc without preventing it from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork, then allow time to adjust before changing its position or lighting.

Temperament

Keep space around this generally peaceful coral because it can spread over nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though it can accept occasional small foods when offered in a suitable reef-feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain stable conditions and observe disc expansion as it settles in. Avoid sudden lighting increases and direct flow, and adjust placement gradually if the coral is not expanding normally.

Give it protected placement, gentle flow, and time to settle.
