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

Use low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to any increase in intensity, since abrupt lighting changes can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current so the disc can expand normally without being continually pushed or folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and observe expansion before making placement changes.

Temperament

Keep it with space to spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can expand across nearby rockwork and may require room from neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch the disc’s expansion after introduction or adjustments. Reduce abrupt changes in lighting, and reposition only if direct flow prevents normal expansion. Regular observation helps confirm that its location remains suitable.

A sheltered lower placement supports reliable expansion and straightforward long-term care.
