These corals do best with bright direct light and calm currents however if minimally adequate light and water movement is provided, it will grow well in a tank.
This coral normally feeds actively at night, however the tentacles occasionally extend during the day and readily take food offerings feeding almost exclusively on zooplankton and bacterioplankton which consists of free-living bacteria, detritus, particulate (POM) and suspended organic matter (SOM).
Lobophyllia are not normally aggressive however there have been reports of sweeper tentacles being formed when they come in contact with other corals.
