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 lighting increases can affect normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Keep it away from strong direct current, which can prevent the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Begin in a sheltered spot and make gradual adjustments only after observing consistent expansion.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but gradual expansion may bring them into contact with nearby corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, while appropriate placement and stable conditions remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or water movement, and allow time to settle after placement or adjustments. Adjust conditions gradually when observation indicates a change is needed.

Keep conditions steady and provide a sheltered, low-flow location.
