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 brighter area, since abrupt lighting increases can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without direct current that prevents its disc from expanding normally.

Placement

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

Temperament

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

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the priority.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or changes. Avoid sudden lighting adjustments and strong direct flow, then give the coral time to settle before moving it again.

Give this soft coral room to expand and spread naturally.
