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 any increase in intensity, since abrupt lighting changes can stress this mushroom-type soft coral.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it where water movement is gentle enough for the disc to expand normally rather than being continually pushed by direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and observe expansion before making gradual placement adjustments.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but allow room for it to spread over time. Give neighboring corals space and monitor its footprint as it settles.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion. Avoid abrupt lighting increases and direct flow, adjusting its position gradually if it remains contracted or does not expand normally.

Give it gentle flow, gradual acclimation, and room to spread.
