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 brighter conditions, as abrupt increases can stress the coral and affect normal disc expansion.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position and observe expansion before considering any move.

Temperament

Keep it with room to spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but its growth can bring it into contact with nearby corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and suitable placement remain the priority.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after introduction. Make lighting or flow changes gradually, and adjust placement if direct current or increased light appears to limit expansion.

Allow time for acclimation and give this mushroom coral space to settle.
