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. Start with lower exposure and increase only gradually, watching for normal disc expansion rather than making abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it where water movement is gentle enough for the disc to expand normally and avoid strong, direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Allow time to acclimate after placement, particularly when moving it into brighter aquarium lighting.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but leave room for it to spread. Give neighboring corals space and monitor the area over time so expansion does not crowd nearby placements.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion regularly. Avoid sudden lighting increases and direct flow that keeps the disc from opening normally. Adjust placement gradually if its response suggests the light or current is too intense.

A protected, low-flow location supports straightforward long-term care.
