Its care needs center on stable conditions and a placement that allows the disc to expand normally.

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. Acclimate gradually to any increase in intensity, as abrupt lighting changes can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

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

Placement

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

Temperament

Keep reasonable space from neighbors. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread and may gradually occupy nearby rockwork.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the disc for normal expansion. Make changes to lighting, flow, or placement gradually, and avoid directing flow at the coral. Its Beginner to Moderate care profile is best supported by patient acclimation and regular observation.

Give it gentle flow, measured light, and room to spread.
