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

Use low to moderate lighting. Start with reduced exposure after introduction, then make changes gradually to avoid abrupt lighting increases.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Give the coral time to settle before adjusting its position or lighting.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but leave room for spreading over time. Plan neighboring coral placement accordingly and monitor available space as it establishes.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement. If the coral remains contracted, review flow direction and recent lighting changes before making further adjustments. Introduce changes one at a time so its response is easy to assess.

Gentle flow, gradual acclimation, and stable conditions support reliable care.
