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

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to brighter conditions, as abrupt lighting increases can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Choose a position sheltered from direct flow and allow time for light acclimation.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over time. Leave room around the placement area and monitor nearby corals as it establishes.

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 reef conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or adjustments. Make lighting changes slowly, keep direct flow off the coral, and reassess its location if it remains unable to expand normally.

Give it gentle flow, gradual acclimation, and space to settle in.
