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, as abrupt lighting changes can keep the coral from settling and expanding normally.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong or direct current, which can prevent the disc from expanding normally and make it difficult for the coral to stay comfortably positioned.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give it time to adjust after introduction, and choose a spot where lighting and flow remain gentle and consistent.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around it as it settles and spreads. It is generally peaceful, but its ability to spread can bring it into contact with neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable placement, suitable light, and gentle flow are the primary day-to-day considerations.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or changes in lighting and flow. Adjust gradually rather than abruptly, especially if the coral stays contracted or is exposed to direct current.

Gentle flow and gradual acclimation support a comfortable, settled placement.
