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. Start with gentler exposure and increase gradually only if needed, since abrupt lighting increases can stress the coral.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Water movement should be gentle enough for the disc to expand normally rather than being held closed by direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its chosen location, particularly when moving into brighter lighting.

Temperament

Keep it spaced with future spread in mind. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can expand beyond their original placement and may eventually contact nearby corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or changes. Avoid sudden lighting adjustments and direct flow. If it stays contracted, reassess current exposure and water movement before making further changes.

Give it protected space and let it settle into consistent conditions.
