Lighting: Low to moderate lighting is ideal. Mushrooms often display their best colors under lower light conditions and can bleach if exposed to intense lighting too quickly. Gradual acclimation is recommended.
Flow: Low to moderate, indirect flow keeps the surface clean without lifting or damaging the soft tissue. Too much flow can cause mushrooms to detach and drift.
Placement: Best placed on lower rockwork or the substrate, away from high-flow zones. They can spread across rocks over time, making them excellent for filling in open spaces.
Water Quality: Stable, clean water with moderate nutrient levels promotes healthy growth. Mushrooms are generally hardy and tolerant but still benefit from stable parameters.
Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic, though occasional feeding of fine particulate or dissolved foods can boost growth and coloration.
Difficulty: Very beginner friendly — among the hardiest corals, ideal for new reef keepers or low-maintenance systems.
Sustainability: Aquacultured — responsibly grown for long-term aquarium success.
Disclaimer:
Corals on the pictures are not WYSIWYG, photos was made under different lighting (blue or white lights) and in different tank (our show of frag tanks). You will get coral size as described, shape and color could be slightly off due to shipping stress.
After shipping stress soft corals (Mushrooms, Cloves, all types of Leathers) always will look shrink and colorless, won't look as on photos. For them to recover and adjust to new environments they will need 3-7 days in low lights and flow. Specially for mushroom we recommend to keep they under 100PAR and less.
