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, since abrupt lighting changes can stress the coral and limit normal expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Gentle circulation helps keep the disc clear without exposing it to direct current that can prevent normal expansion.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and observe expansion before considering any adjustment.

Temperament

Give it room to spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but nearby corals should have adequate space so expansion does not create competition on shared rockwork.

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 the disc for normal expansion. Avoid sudden lighting increases, direct flow, and frequent relocation. If it remains contracted, reassess current exposure and placement before making further changes.

A sheltered placement and gentle flow support reliable mushroom coral care.
