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 any increase in intensity, as abrupt lighting changes can stress the coral and affect normal expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it away from direct current so the disc can expand normally without being continually pushed or folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Give it time to settle after placement, and adjust slowly if its disc does not expand normally.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space from nearby corals. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread over surrounding rockwork and may eventually compete for available room.

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 reef conditions and observe expansion after changes in lighting, flow, or placement. Avoid abrupt adjustments, especially stronger light or direct current, and allow the coral time to respond before making further changes.

A protected lower placement helps this mushroom coral settle and expand comfortably.
