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 prevent abrupt light increases, then observe the disc for normal expansion.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position and adjust slowly only after it has settled.

Temperament

Allow room around this generally peaceful coral. It can spread over time, so avoid placing it where expansion could crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for normal disc expansion after introduction, especially when adjusting light, flow, or placement. Beginner to moderate care is appropriate when its low-flow needs are respected.

Give it sheltered placement and time to settle into the aquarium.
