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

Use low to moderate lighting. Introduce it gradually to brighter conditions, since abrupt lighting increases can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the coral clear without blasting the disc or preventing its normal expansion.

Placement

Place it on lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Allow time to settle after placement, and make changes gradually rather than repeatedly moving it.

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space from nearby corals. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread and may gradually occupy surrounding rockwork.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but consistent lighting, gentle flow, and stable conditions remain the priority.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after changes to lighting, flow, or placement. Avoid direct flow and sudden lighting adjustments, and give the coral room to settle and spread on its chosen rockwork.

A steady, protected placement supports reliable mushroom coral expansion.
