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. Start in gentler light and acclimate gradually, since abrupt lighting increases can stress the coral and affect normal disc expansion.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Gentle circulation helps keep the area refreshed without blasting the disc or preventing it from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Give it time to settle after introduction, and adjust placement gradually if its disc is not expanding normally.

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space from neighboring corals. It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over time and may claim nearby rockwork.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the disc regularly for normal expansion. Avoid sudden lighting changes and direct flow, and make placement adjustments slowly rather than moving the coral repeatedly.

A practical choice for a lower-light, gently flowing reef area.
