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 with subdued exposure and avoid abrupt increases, which can stress the coral’s ability to adjust comfortably.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Gentle movement helps keep the disc undisturbed; avoid strong direct flow that prevents normal expansion.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its chosen location, especially when moving into brighter aquarium lighting.

Temperament

Keep it with adequate room to spread. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but expansion over nearby surfaces can affect neighboring corals over time.

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 observe the disc’s expansion after placement. Adjust lighting or flow gradually rather than making sudden changes, and avoid directing pumps at the coral. Give it time to settle before relocating it.
