This WYSIWYG mushroom coral fits naturally into reef tanks where a soft coral with straightforward placement and gentle water movement is desired. Its care profile is beginner to moderate, with attention to gradual acclimation.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

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

Use low to moderate lighting. Start with gentler exposure and avoid abrupt increases, giving the coral time to settle and expand normally.

Flow

Provide low, indirect flow. Keep water movement gentle enough for the disc to expand normally rather than receiving a strong, direct stream.

Placement

Place it in lower reef areas or protected rockwork. Acclimate gradually to its final lighting and flow position, then observe its expansion before making changes.

Temperament

Expect generally peaceful behavior, but allow room for it to spread. Plan neighboring coral placement with future expansion in mind and avoid crowding its preferred area.

Feeding

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

General Care

Maintain stable reef conditions and watch for normal disc expansion after placement. Adjust gradually if lighting or flow seems excessive, especially if direct movement prevents full expansion. Avoid sudden environmental changes while the coral settles.

Give it protected placement and gentle flow for reliable day-to-day care.
