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. Start conservatively and avoid abrupt increases, allowing the coral time to adjust while its disc expands normally.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Direct or forceful current can prevent the disc from expanding normally, so aim for gentle water movement around the coral.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its chosen location, especially when moving it into brighter conditions.

Temperament

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

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable placement, suitable light, and gentle flow remain the main priorities.

General Care

This coral is suited to beginner-to-moderate care when reef conditions remain stable. Observe disc expansion after placement and make changes gradually rather than shifting lighting or flow abruptly. Avoid direct flow and monitor its space as it spreads.

Choose a protected, low-flow location and allow time for adjustment.
