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 to brighter conditions, as abrupt increases can stress the coral and affect normal disc expansion.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally and make placement less comfortable.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and observe expansion before considering any adjustment.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from nearby corals as it grows or spreads. It is generally peaceful, but expansion can bring it into contact with neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after introduction. Make lighting or placement changes gradually, avoid direct flow, and leave room for the coral to spread over time.

A sheltered placement and gentle flow support reliable day-to-day care.
