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. Introduce it gradually to brighter conditions, since abrupt lighting increases can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Give the coral time to settle and acclimate before changing its position or lighting exposure.

Temperament

Keep it with adequate room to spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but expansion over nearby rockwork can bring them into contact with neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and appropriate gentle flow remain the priority.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after placement. If the disc remains restricted, check for excessive flow or a recent lighting increase, then make gradual adjustments rather than abrupt changes.

Allow a settled placement and gentle conditions for normal expansion.
