This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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. Start with subdued exposure and avoid abrupt increases, which can prevent a mushroom coral from adjusting comfortably.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, as the disc should be able to expand normally rather than remain tightly disturbed.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its chosen lighting and flow, then observe its expansion before making changes.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, while allowing room for it to spread. Give nearby corals space and monitor its placement as it establishes on surrounding rockwork.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and make adjustments gradually. Watch for normal disc expansion, especially after changes to lighting, flow, or placement. If it stays contracted, reduce direct exposure and reassess the surrounding current.
