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 with gentler exposure and avoid abrupt increases, allowing the coral time to adjust and expand normally.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Direct or strong current can keep the disc from expanding normally, so choose an area with gentle water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its lighting and flow conditions rather than moving it immediately into brighter, exposed placement.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around it as it settles and spreads. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but their ability to spread can bring them into contact with nearby corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after placement. If it remains contracted, assess for abrupt lighting changes or direct flow, then make gradual adjustments. Allow space for spreading and avoid frequent relocation while it acclimates.

A practical soft coral choice for lower-light, gently protected reef areas.
