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. Begin with gentler exposure and avoid abrupt lighting increases, giving the coral time to adjust before making changes.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Direct or forceful current can keep the disc from expanding normally, so choose a protected area with gentle water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its chosen light and flow rather than moving it quickly into brighter, more exposed conditions.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, while allowing room for spreading. Give neighboring corals adequate space and monitor the surrounding rockwork as it settles into the aquarium.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or adjustments. Avoid sudden changes in lighting and keep flow indirect; if the disc is not expanding normally, reassess its exposure and current.

Allow time to settle, then make changes gradually based on its response.
