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. Begin in lower light and avoid abrupt increases, allowing the coral to adjust gradually while monitoring normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Direct or forceful current can keep the disc from expanding normally, so position it where water movement is gentle.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its lighting and flow conditions, then allow time for it to settle.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around it as it establishes. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread and may eventually occupy nearby rockwork.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after placement. Avoid sudden lighting changes and reposition only when needed, especially if direct flow prevents the coral from opening comfortably.

A protected, low-flow spot supports a smooth transition into your reef.
