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 brighter conditions, since abrupt lighting increases can stress a mushroom coral and limit normal expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Gentle movement is enough; avoid strong direct flow that keeps 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 consistent expansion under its new conditions.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading even though it is generally peaceful. Monitor nearby corals as it settles, and avoid crowding it against corals that may compete for space.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe the disc for normal expansion. Make changes to light, flow, or placement gradually, and respond if direct current or sudden light changes keep the coral from opening well.

Give it protected placement and time to settle before making adjustments.
