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 affect normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong or direct current, which can prevent the disc from expanding normally and make it harder for the coral to remain comfortable.

Placement

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

Temperament

Give it room to spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but its ability to spread means nearby corals should have space and be checked regularly.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and appropriate lighting and flow remain the primary focus.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion, especially after changes to lighting, flow, or placement. Make adjustments slowly rather than all at once, and avoid directing flow at the coral.

Gentle placement and gradual adjustments support straightforward long-term care.
