Medium to high lighting would serve this species well. Lobophyllia can be kept under high output fluorescent bulbs, but may benefit from more intense lighting. It will likely change its coloration depending on the lighting provided. Lobophyllia may require a longer acclimation period to intense lighting such as metal halides.
We recommend keeping the coral in a relatively low flow area of the reef display. Too much flow could cause this particular species to become stressed and not extend fully.
