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. Begin under lower light and avoid abrupt increases, allowing the coral time to adjust before moving it brighter.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Gentle circulation helps keep the disc clear without direct current that can prevent normal expansion.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its chosen location, especially when introducing it to brighter lighting.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but expansion can bring them into contact with neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and appropriate lighting remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or changes in flow and lighting. Avoid sudden lighting increases and reposition any direct current that keeps the disc from expanding normally. This profile ranges from beginner to moderate care.

Choose a protected spot and give it time to settle in.
