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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt increases, especially when moving it into a brighter area of the reef.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can prevent the mushroom disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give it time to settle after placement before making further lighting or flow adjustments.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but leave room for it to spread. Plan neighboring coral placement with its potential expansion in mind.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after any change. Adjust placement if direct flow or abrupt lighting changes cause the coral to remain contracted or unable to open normally.

Start gently, observe its response, and make changes gradually.
