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, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, and avoid abrupt lighting increases.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give the specimen time to settle after placement and adjust its position only if expansion remains limited.

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space from nearby corals. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread over surrounding rockwork as they establish.

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 aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after any change in lighting, flow, or placement. Avoid sudden increases in light and direct current, and allow time for adjustment before making further changes.

Choose a protected location and let it adjust gradually to the aquarium.
