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

Flow

Use low, indirect water flow. Avoid strong or direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and observe expansion before making gradual placement adjustments.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but nearby corals should have adequate space to avoid crowding as it establishes.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and appropriate lighting remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion. Make changes to lighting, flow, or placement gradually, and avoid directing pumps toward the coral. Regular observation helps identify whether its location remains suitable.

Give it gentle conditions, room to spread, and time to settle.
