- 40–100
- Water flow
- Low
- Placement
- Lower reef or partial shade
- Aggression
- Low to medium
- Feeding

What LT Cherry Blossom Discosoma Mushroom needs
Begin in a lower-light area with gentle flow. If the disc stays tightly contracted or tries to detach, reduce intensity or velocity. Give the coral room to spread, since loose mushrooms can establish elsewhere in the aquarium.
Stable water targets
Use these as a steady operating range, not numbers to chase from day to day.

How to acclimate LT Cherry Blossom Discosoma Mushroom
- Inspect the bag and coral on arrival. Photograph any shipping concern before opening the bag, then follow the store's live-arrival instructions.
- Match temperature, inspect the coral under white light, and use a coral dip that is appropriate for the coral group. Do not add shipping water to the display.
- Begin below the final light intensity for the first several days. Move or raise intensity gradually while watching tissue and polyp response.
LT Cherry Blossom Discosoma Mushroom care questions
Where should I place LT Cherry Blossom Discosoma Mushroom?
Start at Lower reef or partial shade. Leave room for growth and move the coral only after observing its response to the current position.
How much flow does LT Cherry Blossom Discosoma Mushroom need?
Use Low flow. The goal is steady gas exchange and debris removal without folded tissue, exposed skeleton, or polyps held in one direction.
Should I feed LT Cherry Blossom Discosoma Mushroom?
Recommended frequency: Optional, up to weekly. Feed only when the coral shows a response, use appropriately sized food, and remove uneaten food before it irritates the tissue.
