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 and avoid abrupt increases, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Strong or direct current can prevent the disc from expanding normally, so choose a sheltered area with gentle movement.

Placement

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

Temperament

Keep it with adequate room to spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but expansion over nearby surfaces can bring them into contact with neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the disc after changes to lighting, flow, or placement. Avoid sudden adjustments, especially stronger light or direct current, and allow time for the coral to settle before making further changes.

Give this mushroom coral gentle flow and time to adjust.
