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, as abrupt lighting changes can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give it time to settle after introduction and adjust placement only if it is not expanding normally.

Temperament

Keep space around it as it grows and 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 light and flow remain the primary care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after changes. Make adjustments gradually, especially when changing lighting or flow, and avoid positioning the coral where direct current repeatedly hits it.
