This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Water movement should be gentle enough for the disc to expand normally rather than being held closed by direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give it time to settle after placement and adjust lighting exposure gradually.

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space from nearby corals. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread and gradually occupy available rockwork.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and suitable placement remain the priority.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after introducing or relocating the coral. Avoid abrupt lighting increases and redirect flow if the disc remains contracted or cannot expand normally.

A practical soft coral choice for protected, lower-energy reef placement.
