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 keep the disc from expanding normally.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong or direct current, which can prevent the disc from opening and expanding as expected.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust only after observing normal disc expansion.

Temperament

Keep it with room to spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can expand into nearby areas over time, so avoid crowding neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the disc for normal expansion. Make lighting and flow changes gradually, and relocate only if direct current or excessive light appears to limit its opening.

Give it protected placement and allow time to settle into its new reef area.
