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 any lighting increase, as abrupt changes can stress the coral and affect normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally and make placement less comfortable.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and observe disc expansion before making any placement adjustments.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around it as it settles. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread over nearby rockwork and may eventually encroach on neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after introduction. Make changes gradually, especially with lighting and flow, and adjust placement if direct current prevents the coral from opening fully.

A sheltered spot and patient acclimation support reliable mushroom coral care.
