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. Acclimate gradually and avoid abrupt increases, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.
Flow
Use low, indirect flow. Position it away from direct output so the disc can expand without being pushed or folded by current.
Placement
Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust only after observing normal expansion under the available light and flow.
Temperament
Keep it with appropriate space from nearby corals. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread over surrounding rockwork over time.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and suitable placement remain the main priorities.
General Care
Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or adjustments. Make lighting and flow changes gradually, and avoid direct current or sudden light increases that interfere with normal expansion.
Allow time to settle before making further placement changes.
