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. Start under gentler light and avoid abrupt increases, which can keep the mushroom disc from expanding normally.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it away from strong direct current so the disc can expand naturally without being constantly pushed or folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its final lighting and flow, then watch for normal disc expansion.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but leave room for it to spread over time. Give nearby corals adequate space and monitor the surrounding rockwork as it establishes.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the disc after placement or adjustments. Avoid sudden lighting changes and direct flow that limits normal expansion. Make changes gradually, especially when moving it to a new area of the aquarium.

Choose a protected location and let its expansion guide placement adjustments.
