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. Acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt increases, and watch for normal disc expansion as it settles into its chosen location.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position and allow time to adjust before considering any change in lighting or location.

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space from neighbors. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread over nearby rockwork and gradually occupy available room.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after introduction or adjustments. Make changes slowly, especially with lighting and flow, and avoid placing it where direct current or sudden exposure increases cause it to stay contracted.

Give it a calm, protected location and adjust conditions gradually.
