Lighting

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to avoid abrupt light increases, and watch for normal disc expansion as it adjusts.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Strong or direct current can keep the mushroom disc from expanding normally, so aim for a sheltered, gentle movement.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Give the coral time to settle after introduction, especially when adapting to new lighting and flow.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but allow room for it to spread over time. Plan nearby coral placement accordingly and monitor its expansion into surrounding space.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and appropriate light and flow remain the primary care focus.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the disc’s expansion after placement or adjustments. Avoid sudden lighting changes and redirect flow if the coral remains compressed or cannot expand normally. This beginner-to-moderate care soft coral benefits from a calm, consistent setting.

Allow gentle acclimation and give this mushroom coral space to settle.
