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

Provide low to moderate lighting. Acclimate gradually to any lighting change, and avoid abrupt increases that may keep the disc from expanding normally.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Keep the specimen away from strong direct current so its disc can expand naturally without being continually pushed or folded.

Placement

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

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread over time. It is generally peaceful, but neighboring corals should have adequate space as the mushroom coral establishes itself.

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 aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or adjustments. Avoid sudden lighting increases and direct flow. A gradual approach to acclimation helps this soft coral settle into its chosen lower or protected reef location.

Give it sheltered placement, gentle flow, and time to settle.
