-
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 a mushroom coral.
Flow
Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.
Placement
Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position and adjust only after observing normal disc expansion.
Temperament
Keep it spaced from corals that may encroach on it. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but this type can spread over nearby rockwork.
Feeding
Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and suitable placement remain the main priorities.
General Care
Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or changes in lighting and flow. Make adjustments gradually, especially when increasing light, and redirect flow if the disc remains compressed or fails to expand normally.
Allow time to settle before making further placement changes.
