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. Acclimate gradually and avoid abrupt increases, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Position it away from direct outlets so the disc can expand without being pushed or folded.

Placement

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

Temperament

Give it room to spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but avoid crowding neighboring corals as it establishes its own space.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the priority.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after placement or lighting changes. Avoid sudden increases in light and direct flow, then make adjustments gradually based on how the coral responds.

A practical soft coral choice for protected, lower-flow reef placement.
