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 brighter conditions, since abrupt lighting increases can stress a mushroom coral and affect normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it where water movement is gentle enough for the disc to expand normally rather than receiving a strong direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust only gradually after observing how the disc responds.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but allow room for spreading. Give nearby corals space and monitor the area over time so expansion does not crowd neighboring placements.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or adjustments. Avoid abrupt changes in lighting and direct flow, and make gradual corrections if the coral remains contracted or cannot expand normally.

A sheltered placement and patient acclimation support reliable long-term care.
