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 and increase intensity gradually. Avoid abrupt lighting changes, which can keep the coral from adjusting comfortably.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Strong or direct current can prevent the mushroom disc from expanding normally, so choose a sheltered area with gentle movement.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Allow time to acclimate after placement, and adjust its position gradually rather than making sudden light changes.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from nearby corals as it can spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but leave room around the placement area for expansion.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after introducing it. If it stays contracted, check for overly direct flow or a sudden increase in lighting, then make gradual adjustments.

Gentle flow, gradual acclimation, and open space support reliable mushroom coral care.
