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 increases, and watch the disc’s expansion as it settles into its new position.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Direct or forceful current can prevent the disc from expanding normally, so choose a sheltered area with gentle water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position and adjust only gradually after observing normal expansion.

Temperament

Keep it with generally peaceful neighbors and allow room around it. This mushroom-type soft coral is generally peaceful, but it can spread over time.

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. Observe disc expansion, especially after placement or lighting adjustments, and avoid direct flow. This care profile is suitable for beginner to moderate reef keepers when its gentle-light and gentle-flow needs are met.

Give it a sheltered spot and let it settle gradually.
