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 and avoid abrupt increases, which can keep the mushroom disc from expanding normally.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Keep direct or strong flow off the disc so it can expand without being constantly pushed or folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered spot and adjust placement gradually if lighting or flow needs refinement.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but allow room for it to spread over time. Plan nearby coral placement accordingly and avoid crowding its intended area.

Feeding

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

General Care

This soft coral fits Beginner to Moderate care when conditions remain stable. Watch disc expansion after introduction or changes in placement, and make adjustments slowly rather than changing lighting or flow abruptly.

Provide gentle conditions, observe expansion, and give it room to spread.
