This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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 brighter conditions, as abrupt lighting increases can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current that keeps the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give the coral time to adjust before moving it or changing its lighting.

Temperament

Keep it spaced from nearby corals as it grows or spreads. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but expansion can bring them into contact with neighbors.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement. Adjust flow or lighting gradually if it remains contracted, and avoid sudden changes that can interrupt normal settling and expansion.

A practical soft coral choice for gentle, stable reef conditions.
