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 this mushroom-type soft coral.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Direct or forceful flow can keep the disc from expanding normally, so choose an area with gentle water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give it time to settle after introduction and adjust placement slowly if its disc does not expand normally.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but allow 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 light and flow remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion as it acclimates. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow, especially direct current. A protected location and gradual adjustments help support normal behavior over time.

Give this mushroom coral gentle flow and room to settle in.
