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 with lower intensity and avoid abrupt increases, allowing the disc to adjust and expand normally.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it away from direct current that could keep the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its chosen lighting and flow conditions before making major placement changes.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but their ability to spread can bring them into contact with nearby corals over time.

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 introduction or adjustments. Avoid sudden lighting increases and direct flow, then make changes gradually if the coral appears unable to open normally. This profile is suitable for beginner to moderate care experience.

Give it protected placement and observe its expansion as it settles in.
