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. Start with lower light and avoid abrupt increases, which can keep the coral from adapting and expanding normally.

Flow

Use low, indirect flow. Keep water movement gentle rather than directing flow at the disc, allowing it to expand normally.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or on protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its lighting and flow conditions before making placement changes.

Temperament

Keep it with appropriate space despite its generally peaceful nature. Mushroom corals can spread, so allow room for expansion and monitor nearby corals.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and observe disc expansion after introduction. Avoid sudden lighting changes and direct flow, then adjust placement only if the coral is not expanding normally. This is a Beginner to Moderate care soft coral.

Allow gentle conditions and space for this mushroom coral to settle in.
