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 any increase in intensity, as abrupt lighting changes can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

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

Placement

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

Temperament

Keep it spaced from corals that may crowd it. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread over nearby rockwork over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after introduction or adjustments. Make changes gradually, especially with lighting and flow, and avoid directing current at the coral. Give it room to spread without encroaching on neighboring corals.

Allow time for acclimation before changing its placement or conditions.
