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. Acclimate gradually to any increase in intensity, as abrupt lighting changes can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give the specimen time to settle after introduction and adjust placement gradually if needed.

Temperament

Keep it with room to spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can expand across nearby rockwork and may eventually crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the disc for normal expansion. Avoid sudden lighting increases and redirect flow if it is hitting the coral directly or preventing it from opening as expected. Introduce changes gradually and allow time for adjustment.
