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. Acclimate gradually to any increase in intensity, as abrupt lighting changes can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

Use low, indirect water flow. Avoid strong direct flow so the disc can expand normally without being constantly pushed or folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position and adjust only after observing normal disc expansion.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but give neighboring corals space as the mushroom establishes itself.

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 aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after introduction or adjustments. Avoid abrupt lighting increases and direct flow, and make changes gradually if the coral appears unable to open normally.

Give it a protected spot and adjust conditions slowly.
