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 to any brighter position, since abrupt lighting increases can stress a mushroom coral and affect normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it where gentle movement keeps the area from being stagnant without directing a strong stream at the disc.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give the coral time to settle after placement and adjust its position only if the disc cannot expand normally.

Temperament

Allow room around it as it grows or spreads. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but spreading can bring them into contact with nearby corals over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after changes to lighting, flow, or placement. Avoid abrupt adjustments, particularly brighter light or direct current, and leave adequate space for potential spreading.

Start with a protected location and make changes gradually.
