This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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 and limit normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect water flow. Position it away from direct current so the disc can expand normally rather than remaining folded or continually pushed by flow.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Give the coral time to adjust after introduction, and avoid moving it repeatedly while it settles into local light and flow.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading even though it is generally peaceful. Monitor nearby corals and maintain space as it establishes, especially where its disc may expand into neighboring placement areas.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions, suitable lighting, and gentle indirect flow should remain the primary focus.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion as it acclimates. Avoid sudden lighting increases and direct flow, both of which can prevent normal expansion. Check its location regularly and adjust only when its response indicates the placement is unsuitable.
