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

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting the disc or preventing it from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust only after observing consistent expansion under its new conditions.

Temperament

Allow room for future spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but this type can expand across nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

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 aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after introduction or adjustments. Avoid sudden lighting increases and direct flow, then make changes gradually if the coral remains contracted or is not expanding normally.

Give it gentle conditions and space to settle before making adjustments.
