These corals are ideal for beginner and intermediate aquarists looking to add bright, low-maintenance colour and texture to their reef. Their small size makes them versatile for placement across rockwork or substrate, and they can form colourful carpets when multiple polyps are introduced. With proper care, Small Domed Mushroom Corals provide dynamic movement and long-lasting visual interest in any marine tank.

Fish Tank Compatibility
Small Domed Mushrooms are peaceful and safe with most reef-safe fish and invertebrates. They do not aggressively sting neighbouring corals, making them ideal for mixed reef tanks. Avoid placing them near highly aggressive LPS or SPS species.
Lighting Needs
These corals thrive under low to moderate LED or T5 reef lighting. Proper lighting promotes polyp expansion, bright coloration, and overall health. Gradually acclimate new specimens to your tank lighting to prevent stress or bleaching.
Water Flow Requirements
Small Domed Mushrooms prefer low to moderate water flow. Gentle currents allow the polyps to open fully, while strong flow can damage delicate tissue. Adequate circulation ensures nutrient delivery and waste removal.
Tank Size & Placement
These corals are suitable for small to medium marine aquariums. Place them on stable rockwork or substrate with sufficient space to expand. Maintaining consistent water parameters and regular care will ensure your Small Domed Mushroom Coral thrives and remains a vibrant addition to your reef.
