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 avoid abrupt increases, then watch for normal disc expansion as it settles into its chosen location.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Strong or direct current can keep the disc from expanding normally, so aim for gentle movement rather than a focused stream.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered position and adjust only gradually after it has had time to settle.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around it as it establishes. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but they can spread and may gradually occupy nearby rockwork.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and appropriate lighting remain the primary day-to-day care priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or changes in lighting and flow. Avoid sudden adjustments, especially brighter lighting or direct current, and allow time for the coral to respond before making further changes.

Gentle flow, protected placement, and gradual acclimation support reliable long-term care.
