This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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 areas, since abrupt lighting increases can stress the coral and interfere with normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it where gentle movement keeps debris from settling without directing current at the disc or preventing it from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position and adjust only gradually after observing its response to light and flow.

Temperament

Keep it with space 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 light and flow remain the primary care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after introduction or adjustments. Avoid sudden changes in lighting, and redirect any current that keeps the disc tightly contracted or prevents normal expansion.

A practical choice for protected lower-reef placement and gentle water movement.
