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 brighter conditions, as abrupt lighting increases can stress the coral and limit normal disc expansion.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position and adjust only after observing normal expansion under its new conditions.

Temperament

Keep it with peaceful neighbors and leave room for spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but can gradually occupy nearby rockwork.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after introduction or changes. Make lighting adjustments gradually, keep flow indirect, and relocate only when placement is clearly preventing normal expansion.

Provide gentle conditions and allow time to settle into placement.
