The Discosoma spp. Jawbreaker is a visually striking soft coral frag, prized for its vibrant colours and unique texture. This Grade A frag consists of one healthy ear, cultivated through sustainable tank-bred methods to ensure quality and compatibility within reef aquariums.
Care Level: Easy to moderate, suitable for hobbyists with some experience in soft coral husbandry.
Lighting Requirements: Prefers moderate lighting conditions. Too intense lighting may cause bleaching, so LED or T5 lighting with adjustable intensity is recommended.
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect water flow is ideal to prevent tissue damage while ensuring adequate nutrient exchange.
Placement: Place on stable rockwork with sufficient space around to avoid contact with aggressive neighbouring corals. This species benefits from placement in mid to lower sections of the tank.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Discosoma spp. are generally peaceful but can release toxins if stressed, so maintain good water quality and monitor interactions.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but will benefit from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid foods.
Origin: Not Provided – tank-bred for sustainability and consistency.
Maximum Size: Typically grows to a few centimetres per ear, suitable for small to medium reef tanks.
Minimum Tank Size: 30 litres (8 gallons) recommended to maintain stable water parameters.
Regular water changes and stable marine conditions will promote healthy growth and vibrant colours. This frag is an excellent addition for reef enthusiasts seeking a hardy, visually appealing soft coral.
