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 gentler exposure and avoid abrupt increases, allowing the disc time to adjust and expand normally.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Position it away from direct current that can keep the disc from expanding normally or cause persistent movement.

Placement

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

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around it. It is generally peaceful, but mushroom corals can spread over nearby surfaces and may gradually claim available room.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but consistent lighting, gentle flow, and stable conditions remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch the disc’s response after placement. Reduce abrupt changes in lighting or flow, especially if expansion becomes limited. Give the coral time to settle before repeatedly relocating it.

A practical soft coral choice for calm, lower-light reef areas.
