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 this coral carefully to any lighting increase, as abrupt changes can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent the disc from opening and expanding as expected.

Placement

Place it on the lower reef or in protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust only after observing normal expansion under its new conditions.

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. It may accept occasional small foods, 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 adjustments gradually, especially when moving the specimen or changing its location within the reef.

Give it a protected spot and allow time to settle into its conditions.
