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, since abrupt lighting changes 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. Start in a sheltered position and adjust only after observing normal disc expansion.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but allow room for spreading. Monitor nearby corals over time and avoid crowding its placement area.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional, though it may accept occasional small foods. Keep feedings modest and observe its response.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. Watch for normal disc expansion as a useful response to lighting, flow, and placement. If it remains contracted, reassess whether it is receiving too much light or direct current.

Give it a protected spot and let its response guide adjustments.
