Red Discosoma Mushroom

Add striking crimson beauty and easy-care elegance to your reef with our vibrant Red Discosoma Mushroom! This stunning soft coral features brilliant red coloration that glows radiantly under aquarium lighting, creating a mesmerizing focal point that draws the eye and elevates your aquascape. Red Discosoma mushrooms are among the easiest soft corals to maintain, thriving in a wide range of lighting and flow conditions while requiring minimal special care or feeding. These hardy corals are celebrated for their impressive fast-growing nature, rapidly expanding and propagating naturally to create lush mushroom colonies that fill your rockwork with vibrant red coverage. Each individual mushroom displays beautiful, flowing tissue movement and characteristic disc shape that adds organic, naturalistic beauty to your reef ecosystem. Important Note: This coral is not a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) offering, but rather a high-quality single mushroom that will be similar in appearance, size, and coloration to mushrooms we’ve recently propagated and offered. You’ll receive a healthy, vibrant Red Discosoma mushroom with comparable characteristics—expect slight natural variations in exact coloration intensity, disc diameter, and tentacle pattern, as each mushroom develops unique character and may adjust coloration based on lighting and water conditions after acclimation. Care Requirements:

• Lighting: Low to moderate; Red Discosoma mushrooms are incredibly adaptable and thrive in various lighting conditions; moderate to bright lighting maintains vibrant red coloration and supports optimal growth.
• Water Flow: Low to moderate; gentle, non-turbulent flow is ideal; mushrooms prefer to move freely with water currents rather than endure strong, direct flow that may stress the tissue.
• Placement: Position on rockwork or substrate in an area with gentle flow; allow adequate space for the mushroom to expand and propagate without being crowded by neighboring corals.
• Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic and require minimal supplemental feeding; occasional offerings of liquid phytoplankton or fine particle foods will enhance growth, coloration, and faster propagation.
• Growth & Propagation: Grow rapidly under proper conditions; naturally propagate by budding, allowing a single mushroom to establish extensive colonies over time; very rewarding for propagation enthusiasts.
• Water Conditions: Extremely tolerant of variable parameters; thrive in established reef or fish-only systems; adaptable to pH, temperature, and salinity fluctuations within normal aquarium ranges.
• Care Level: Very Easy—one of the absolute easiest soft corals available, perfect for complete beginners; thriving with minimal intervention and care.
