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 lighting increases, then watch for normal disc expansion and adjust placement if needed.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct flow, which can keep the disc from expanding normally and may prevent it from settling comfortably.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Begin in a sheltered location and allow time to adjust before considering any change in light or flow.

Temperament

Keep it with adequate room to spread. It is generally peaceful, but mushroom corals can gradually occupy nearby rockwork and may crowd close neighbors over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement. Make changes slowly, especially when increasing light, and redirect flow if the disc stays compressed or cannot expand normally. This coral is suited to beginner-to-moderate care.

Give it protected placement, gentle flow, and time to settle.
