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 brighter conditions, as abrupt lighting increases can stress a mushroom coral and affect normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it where water movement is gentle enough for the disc to expand normally without being hit by a direct current.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Allow time for acclimation after introduction, and adjust placement gradually if lighting or flow appears too strong.

Temperament

Keep it with room to spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can expand into nearby space, so avoid crowding neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable placement, suitable lighting, and gentle indirect flow remain the primary care considerations.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the coral’s disc expansion after placement. Avoid abrupt changes in lighting and direct flow, particularly during acclimation. If it remains contracted, reassess water movement and light exposure before making gradual adjustments.

Give it gentle flow, protected placement, and time to acclimate.
