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. Start in lower light and avoid abrupt increases, giving the coral time to adjust before moving it brighter.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Direct or forceful flow can prevent the disc from expanding normally, so choose a sheltered area with gentle water movement.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its final lighting and flow conditions, then observe disc expansion.

Temperament

Keep it with adequate room to spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but expansion over nearby surfaces can bring them into contact with neighboring corals.

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 aquarium conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after placement. Avoid sudden lighting changes and reposition the coral if direct flow keeps it closed or prevents full expansion. Give it space as it settles and spreads.

Provide gentle conditions, stable care, and room for natural expansion.
