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 any increase in intensity, since abrupt lighting changes can stress the coral.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current that keeps the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

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

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space from neighboring corals. It is generally peaceful, but it can spread and may gradually occupy nearby rockwork.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or adjustments. Avoid abrupt lighting increases and direct flow, then make changes gradually if the coral is not expanding normally.

Provide gentle conditions and room for gradual spread.
