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. Start under gentler light, then acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt increases that can stress the coral.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Gentle water movement helps keep the disc comfortable without blasting it or preventing normal expansion.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Give the coral time to settle after introduction, especially when moving from dimmer conditions.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but leave room for spreading over time. Avoid crowding neighboring corals so its placement remains manageable as it establishes.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the main priorities.

General Care

Keep reef conditions stable and observe disc expansion after any change in lighting, flow, or placement. Avoid direct current and make adjustments gradually rather than changing several conditions at once.

A protected placement and patient acclimation support reliable long-term care.
