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, as abrupt lighting changes 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 on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position and observe disc expansion before adjusting placement.

Temperament

Keep space around it as it settles and spreads. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but expansion can bring them into contact with nearby corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after introduction. Make lighting or flow changes gradually, and reposition only if direct current or excessive light appears to limit expansion.

A practical soft-coral choice for gently lit, protected reef areas.
