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 brighter conditions, as abrupt lighting increases can stress this mushroom-type soft coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered spot and adjust only after observing normal expansion.

Temperament

Keep space around it as it settles and spreads. It is generally peaceful, but mushroom corals can expand into nearby areas over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable reef conditions remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the disc for normal expansion. Make lighting or placement changes gradually, and redirect any flow that hits the coral directly or prevents it from opening well.

A protected, gently lit placement supports consistent day-to-day care.
