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 increase in intensity, as abrupt lighting changes can keep the disc from adjusting normally.

Flow

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

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position and observe disc expansion before considering any adjustment.

Temperament

Give it room to spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but growth or movement can bring the disc into contact with neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after introduction. Make changes slowly, especially with lighting and flow, and reposition only if direct current or exposure appears to limit expansion.

Allow time to settle before making further placement changes.
