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 brighter position, since abrupt lighting increases can stress the coral and affect normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong or direct water movement, which can keep the disc from expanding normally and make the coral less comfortable.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust only after observing how it responds to its lighting and flow.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading over time. This mushroom coral is generally peaceful, but nearby corals should have space so expansion does not create unwanted contact.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after introduction. Make changes gradually, especially with lighting and flow, rather than moving it repeatedly or exposing it to sudden increases in intensity.

Give it gentle conditions and space to settle into its chosen location.
