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.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can prevent the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give it time to adjust after placement and observe expansion before changing its position.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around it as it settles. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread and may gradually occupy nearby rockwork.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Watch the disc’s expansion and response to light and flow, adjusting only when needed. Avoid abrupt lighting increases and direct flow that keeps the coral contracted.

Start with protected placement and let its response guide later adjustments.
