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 under gentler light and avoid abrupt increases, which can limit normal disc expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Direct or strong water movement can prevent the disc from expanding normally, so aim for a sheltered, gentle current.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Allow time to acclimate after placement, especially when moving into brighter aquarium lighting.

Temperament

Give it room to spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but expansion and spreading can bring them into contact with neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and suitable placement remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after introducing this coral. Adjust placement gradually if it remains exposed to direct flow or a sudden lighting increase. Check nearby corals regularly as it settles and spreads.

A simple soft-coral option for sheltered lower reef placement.
