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, beginning conservatively and avoiding abrupt increases. Allow time to adjust before moving it toward brighter areas.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow that lets the disc expand normally. Avoid strong direct flow, which can keep the coral from opening well.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its new lighting and flow rather than making immediate major changes.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but leave room for it to spread over time. Plan nearby coral placement with its potential expansion in mind.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but consistent gentle conditions remain the main priority.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe expansion after placement or adjustments. If the disc is not expanding normally, reassess direct flow and recent lighting changes before making further changes.

Give it a protected location and make changes gradually.
