LT Waterlily Mushroom Colony Care Guide
LT Waterlily Mushroom Colony is a corallimorph that prefers lower light and gentle flow; excessive intensity can cause it to shrink or detach.
- Care level
- Easy
- Suggested PAR
- 40–100
- Water flow
- Low
- Placement
- Lower reef or partial shade
- Aggression
- Low to medium
- Feeding
- Optional, up to weekly
What LT Waterlily Mushroom Colony 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.
- Temperature
- 76–79°F
- Salinity
- 1.025–1.026 SG
- Alkalinity
- 8–9 dKH
- Calcium
- 420–450 ppm
- Magnesium
- 1300–1400 ppm
- Nitrate
- 5–15 ppm
- Phosphate
- 0.03–0.10 ppm
How to acclimate LT Waterlily Mushroom Colony
- 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 Waterlily Mushroom Colony care questions
Where should I place LT Waterlily Mushroom Colony?
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 Waterlily Mushroom Colony 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 Waterlily Mushroom Colony?
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.
