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 any increase in intensity, as abrupt lighting changes can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Flow

Use low, indirect water flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can prevent the disc from expanding normally and make placement less suitable.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position and adjust only after observing normal disc expansion under its new lighting and flow.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but nearby corals should have space so expanding tissue does not create contact issues.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but consistent lighting, gentle flow, and stable conditions remain the practical focus.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after introduction or placement changes. Make adjustments gradually, especially with lighting and flow, rather than moving it repeatedly. Its Beginner to Moderate care profile makes a measured, low-stress approach appropriate.

Give it a protected spot and let its response guide adjustments.
