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 avoid abrupt lighting increases, and watch for normal disc expansion as it settles into the reef.

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 adjust only after it has settled and is expanding normally.

Temperament

Expect a generally peaceful coral, but allow room for it to spread. Monitor nearby corals over time and maintain space if its footprint begins to expand.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make lighting or flow changes gradually. Observe disc expansion, placement response, and spread regularly. If the coral remains contracted, reassess direct flow and recent changes before moving it.
