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 in lower light and avoid abrupt increases, allowing the coral time to adjust before moving it brighter.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Direct or forceful current can keep the disc from expanding normally, so position it where water movement is gentle.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its chosen lighting and flow, then avoid frequent moves.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around it as it settles. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread and may gradually occupy nearby rockwork.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after introduction. Avoid sudden lighting changes and redirect any flow that hits the coral directly or causes persistent contraction.

Give it a protected location and allow time for gradual adjustment.
