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, since abrupt lighting changes can stress its normal expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral comfortable without directing water at the disc or preventing it from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust slowly after observing its expansion and response.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but expansion 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 remain the primary care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the disc regularly for normal expansion. Avoid abrupt changes in lighting or flow, especially direct current that keeps the coral contracted. Make placement adjustments gradually rather than frequently moving it.

A practical soft coral choice for protected, gently flowing reef space.
