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 to avoid abrupt increases, and watch for normal disc expansion as it adjusts to its position.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give it time to settle after introduction, then adjust only if expansion suggests the location is unsuitable.

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space from nearby corals. It is generally peaceful, but it can spread over surrounding rockwork over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make changes gradually. This coral is suited to beginner-to-moderate care, but observe its disc expansion after changes in lighting, flow, or placement. Avoid repeatedly moving it once it has settled.

A protected lower placement helps this mushroom coral settle in well.
