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 lighting change, as abrupt increases can stress this mushroom-type soft coral.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Give it time to settle after placement and adjust conditions gradually.

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space from nearby corals. It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over time and may occupy surrounding rockwork.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions remain the primary care priority.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after changes in lighting, flow, or placement. Reduce direct current if the disc is not expanding normally, and avoid making several environmental changes at once.

A practical soft-coral choice for gently lit, lower-flow reef areas.
