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 increase, since abrupt changes can stress the coral and limit normal disc expansion.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can keep the disc from expanding normally and make the coral less comfortable.

Placement

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

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space from nearby corals. It is generally peaceful, but mushroom corals can spread over time and may claim nearby rockwork.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and suitable placement remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after placement. Make changes gradually, especially when adjusting light or flow, and avoid aiming circulation directly at the coral.

Give this mushroom coral a protected spot and allow time for acclimation.
