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 gentler light and increase exposure gradually only if needed, avoiding abrupt lighting changes.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Allow time to settle after introduction, and choose a spot sheltered from direct pump output.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around it as it settles and spreads. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but expansion and spreading can bring them into contact with nearby corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or lighting adjustments. Avoid sudden increases in light and reposition it if direct flow keeps the disc contracted or prevents normal expansion.

Give it a sheltered location and adjust conditions gradually.
