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 any increase in intensity, as abrupt lighting changes can stress the coral and affect normal disc expansion.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally and may prevent the coral from settling comfortably.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Begin in a sheltered location and observe expansion before considering any move within the aquarium.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread over time. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but give nearby corals space so growth does not lead to unwanted contact.

Feeding

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

General Care

This is a Beginner to Moderate care soft coral when kept in stable conditions. Watch its disc expansion after placement or changes to lighting and flow, and make adjustments gradually rather than all at once.

Give it gentle conditions and room to settle before making changes.
