This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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. Start with subdued exposure, then acclimate gradually if adjusting placement or intensity, since abrupt lighting increases can stress the coral.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the area from becoming stagnant without directing water at the disc or preventing normal expansion.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Choose a sheltered location where it can expand normally, and make any move gradually rather than exposing it immediately to brighter light.

Temperament

Keep it with peaceful neighbors and leave room around it. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but this type can spread over nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd corals placed too close.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the disc for normal expansion. Avoid sudden changes to lighting or circulation, especially strong direct flow. Give the coral time to settle after placement, and adjust its position only when its response indicates a need.

A sheltered lower-reef position supports simple, steady care.
