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. Acclimate gradually, especially when moving it into brighter conditions, to avoid abrupt lighting increases.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct water movement, which can keep the disc from expanding normally.

Placement

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

Temperament

Keep an eye on its spread. It is generally peaceful, but mushroom corals can gradually occupy nearby rockwork and may need space from corals you want to keep separate.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe its disc expansion after placement or adjustments. Make changes gradually rather than shifting light or flow quickly, and reposition if direct movement prevents normal expansion.

Give it a protected spot and allow time for gradual acclimation.
