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 and avoid abrupt increases, which can prevent the coral from adjusting comfortably.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct water movement so the disc can expand normally without being continually pushed or folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Begin in a sheltered location, then observe its expansion before making placement changes.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from nearby corals as it can spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but allow room for its footprint to expand across surrounding rockwork.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after introduction or changes. Adjust lighting and flow gradually rather than making sudden corrections, especially if the coral remains contracted or is exposed to direct current.

Allow time to settle before changing its light, flow, or placement.
