Mushroom Coral

Mushroom Coral

Discosoma sp.

Mushroom Corals are flat, circular corallimorpharians that come in an astonishing range of colors, patterns, and textures — from smooth neons to hairy and metallic variants. Ideal for beginners, thriving under low to moderate light and minimal flow, they can actually be damaged by too much light. They spread and reproduce on their own in favorable conditions.
