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 lighting increases can stress the coral and limit normal disc expansion.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Gentle water movement helps keep the coral clear without directing flow at the disc or preventing it from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and observe disc expansion before considering any adjustment.

Temperament

Give it room to spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but expansion and spreading can bring them into contact with neighboring corals over time.

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 watch its disc response after placement or changes in lighting and flow. Avoid sudden adjustments, especially stronger light or direct current, and provide space for gradual spreading.

Observe its expansion and adjust placement gently if it appears unsettled.
