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

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Choose a spot with gentle circulation, then allow time to settle before making frequent placement changes.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around it as it grows or spreads. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but spreading can bring them into contact with nearby corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after introduction or adjustments. Make lighting and flow changes gradually, and reposition only if the coral remains exposed to direct current or unsuitable light.

A practical soft coral choice for protected lower reef areas.
