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, since abrupt lighting increases can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Choose a sheltered position where it can expand without receiving direct flow.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around it. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread and may gradually occupy nearby rockwork.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions remain the main priority.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after placement. Make lighting or flow changes gradually, and adjust the location if direct current prevents the coral from opening normally.

Start with a sheltered placement and adjust slowly as it settles in.
