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 water movement helps keep the disc comfortable without blasting it; avoid direct flow that prevents normal expansion.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position and adjust only after observing how the disc expands under the available light and flow.

Temperament

Allow room for spreading, even though this coral is generally peaceful. Monitor nearby corals over time and provide space so expansion does not create unwanted contact.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and make changes gradually. Watch disc expansion after placement or adjustments, particularly when changing light or flow. This Beginner to Moderate care profile is best supported by avoiding abrupt lighting increases and strong direct water movement.

Observe its expansion and adjust placement gradually when needed.
