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 and acclimate gradually to brighter conditions. Avoid abrupt lighting increases, which can keep the coral from settling in comfortably.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow that allows the disc to expand normally. Strong or direct water movement is not appropriate for this mushroom coral.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust only after it has had time to respond to its lighting and flow.

Temperament

Keep space around it as it grows and spreads. It is generally peaceful, but spreading can bring it into contact with nearby corals over time.

Feeding

Feeding is usually optional. It may accept occasional small foods, but stable conditions and suitable placement remain the main priorities.

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after placement or changes. Make adjustments gradually, especially with lighting and flow, and avoid positioning it where direct current prevents normal expansion.

Give it protected placement and time to settle before making changes.
