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 brighter conditions, as abrupt increases in light can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Position it away from direct output so the disc can expand normally without being continually pushed or folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give it time to settle after placement and adjust location only if expansion remains poor.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over nearby surfaces. Leave room around it and monitor neighboring corals as it establishes.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after introducing it. Avoid sudden lighting changes and direct flow, then make adjustments gradually if the specimen stays contracted or cannot expand normally.

A practical soft-coral choice for a protected lower-reef position.
