Its care profile favors protected placement, restrained flow, and a gradual approach to lighting changes.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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 in lower light and increase exposure gradually only if needed, since abrupt lighting increases can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Position it where water movement is gentle enough for the disc to expand normally without being pushed or folded by direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Acclimate it gradually to the aquarium’s lighting and flow rather than moving immediately into brighter or more exposed locations.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but allow room for spreading over nearby rockwork. Leave space around neighboring corals so expansion does not create unwanted contact over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement. Avoid abrupt changes in lighting, and redirect any current that prevents normal expansion. Check surrounding space periodically as the coral settles and may spread across available rockwork.

Gentle flow, protected placement, and patient acclimation support reliable long-term care.
