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. Introduce brighter conditions gradually, as abrupt lighting increases can prevent the coral from adjusting comfortably.

Flow

Provide 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. Allow time to acclimate after placement before making lighting or flow changes.

Temperament

Keep it with generally peaceful neighbors and leave room around it. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread over nearby rockwork.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions remain the main priority.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after introduction or adjustments. If the disc stays contracted, reassess current and lighting exposure rather than making abrupt changes. Its beginner-to-moderate care profile rewards a measured approach.

Give it protected placement and stable conditions for straightforward ongoing care.
