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, since abrupt lighting increases can stress the coral and affect normal disc expansion.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Gentle water movement helps keep the disc comfortable without blasting it or preventing it from expanding normally.

Placement

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

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space from nearby corals. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread over surrounding rockwork as they establish.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after placement or changes. Avoid sudden shifts in lighting, and redirect any flow that reaches the coral too directly. Give it time to settle before making repeated adjustments.

Observe its expansion regularly and make changes slowly when needed.
