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 any lighting change, since abrupt increases can stress a mushroom coral and limit normal disc expansion.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can prevent the disc from expanding normally and make placement less suitable.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and observe its expansion before making any gradual adjustments.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading. This mushroom coral is generally peaceful, but it can spread over nearby surfaces, so give neighboring corals adequate space.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and suitable placement remain the primary care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after introduction. Make lighting or placement changes gradually, avoid direct flow, and leave space around the coral as it settles into the reef.

A protected placement and patient acclimation support reliable day-to-day care.
