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, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, and avoid abrupt lighting increases.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give it time to settle after introduction and adjust positioning only if the disc is not expanding normally.

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space from neighboring corals. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread over nearby rockwork over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and appropriate lighting remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the disc for normal expansion. Make changes gradually, particularly to lighting and flow, and avoid directing pumps at the coral. Allow room on the rockwork if you want to manage future spreading.

A practical soft coral choice for protected, lower-light reef areas.
