The Giant Cup Mushroom is an impressive and exceptionally large coral, known for its expansive growth over rock surfaces. These corals are available in a variety of colors, including green and tan, so be sure to choose your preferred color when purchasing.

The Giant Cup Mushroom can grow beyond 12 inches and requires a minimum tank size of 90 gallons. They have a tendency to consume fish that venture too close, so it's advisable to avoid housing them with fish. Position them in the middle to lower sections of your aquarium, ideally on the substrate. They thrive in moderate water flow and lighting. Monitor for stress signs and adjust their placement if necessary.

Being semi-aggressive, Giant Cup Mushrooms can disturb nearby corals. Ensure ample space for their growth and to prevent conflicts with neighboring corals.

These carnivorous corals obtain nutrients from the water and through photosynthesis. To enhance their diet, consider feeding them mysis, brine shrimp, and plankton during the evening.
