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 increase in intensity to avoid abrupt changes that may interfere with normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong or direct current, which can prevent the disc from expanding normally and make placement less suitable.

Placement

Place it low in the reef or on protected rockwork. Choose a sheltered position where indirect movement allows the disc to expand normally without being pushed by direct flow.

Temperament

Allow room around it as it spreads. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but nearby corals should not be crowded where this specimen may expand over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It can accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and appropriate lighting and flow remain the main care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after placement or changes. Adjust lighting and flow gradually rather than all at once, and avoid direct current that keeps the disc from opening fully.

Give it a protected location and make environmental changes slowly.
