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, especially when moving it under brighter fixtures, and avoid abrupt increases that can limit normal expansion.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Gentle water movement helps keep the disc comfortable without directing a strong stream at it or preventing normal expansion.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Start in a sheltered location and adjust gradually only after observing consistent disc expansion.

Temperament

Allow room around it as it settles and spreads. Mushroom corals are generally peaceful, but their ability to spread can bring them into contact with neighboring corals over time.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable aquarium conditions and observe the disc for normal expansion. Avoid sudden lighting changes and direct flow, particularly after introduction or when changing its location. Give it time to settle before making further adjustments.

Provide gentle conditions, space to spread, and gradual acclimation.
