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 flow so the coral’s disc can expand normally without being continually pushed or folded.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Begin in a sheltered location and adjust placement only after observing normal expansion.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread. It is generally peaceful, but its expansion can bring it into contact with nearby corals over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal disc expansion. Make changes to lighting, flow, or placement gradually, and avoid direct current or sudden increases in light exposure.

Observe expansion regularly and give it space as it settles in.
