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 any brighter placement, since abrupt lighting increases can stress this mushroom coral.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Avoid strong direct current, which can prevent the mushroom disc from expanding normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered spot and adjust only gradually if its disc is not expanding well.

Temperament

Allow room for it to spread. It is generally peaceful, but growth across nearby rockwork can bring it into contact with neighboring corals.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. Occasional small foods may be accepted, but stable conditions and appropriate placement remain the priority.

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or adjustments. Make changes slowly, especially with lighting and flow, and avoid directing circulation at the coral. Beginner to moderate care is appropriate when its basic needs are met.

Give it gentle flow, moderate restraint with light, and room to spread.
