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, since abrupt lighting changes can stress a mushroom coral.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current so the disc can expand normally without being continually pushed or folded.

Placement

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

Temperament

Allow room around it as it settles. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread over nearby rockwork and eventually occupy space near neighboring corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after introduction or adjustments. Make changes gradually, especially with lighting and flow, and avoid positioning where direct current prevents normal expansion.

Give it protected placement, gentle flow, and time to settle.
