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 and acclimate carefully to increases. Avoid abrupt lighting changes, allowing the coral time to adjust before placement in a brighter area.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow that lets the disc expand normally. Avoid strong direct flow, which can keep the coral from opening as it should.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust placement gradually if lighting or flow needs refinement.

Temperament

Give it room from neighboring corals as it grows or spreads. It is generally peaceful, but its ability to spread can affect nearby placement over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though occasional small foods may be accepted. Prioritize suitable lighting, gentle flow, and stable conditions rather than relying on feeding.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after introducing or repositioning it. Make changes gradually, especially with lighting and flow, and avoid direct current that prevents normal expansion.

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