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

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it away from direct currents so the disc can open without being constantly pushed or folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered spot, then observe expansion before making gradual placement adjustments.

Temperament

Give it room to spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but nearby corals should have space so expansion does not create unwanted contact.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and suitable placement remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion. Avoid sudden lighting changes and direct flow, then adjust placement gradually if the coral remains closed or cannot expand comfortably.

Allow time to settle after placement and make changes gradually.
