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 avoid abrupt increases, and observe the coral’s response as it settles into its chosen location.

Flow

Use low, indirect water flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally and make the coral less comfortable.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position, then allow time to adjust before making changes to light or flow.

Temperament

Give it room to spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but expansion over nearby rockwork can bring them into contact with neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and appropriate light and flow remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make adjustments gradually. Watch for normal disc expansion and response to current, especially after placement or changes in lighting. If it remains contracted, reassess direct flow and recent environmental changes before moving it.

Provide a protected spot and let this mushroom coral settle in gradually.
