Discosoma spp. (Red) Grade A is a popular soft coral known for its striking red colour and distinctive mushroom-like appearance. Sold per ear in a tiny size, this coral is an excellent choice for marine aquarium enthusiasts seeking to add vibrant colour and texture to their reef setups.
Lighting: Discosoma spp. thrive under low to moderate lighting conditions. They adapt well to a range of lighting types, including LED and T5, making them suitable for various reef tank setups.
Water Flow: Provide low to moderate water flow to ensure the coral’s health. Excessive flow can cause the polyps to retract and stress the coral.

Care Level: This species is considered easy to care for, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced aquarists.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Discosoma spp. are reef safe with adequate spacing. They coexist peacefully with most reef inhabitants but should be kept away from aggressive corals that may overgrow or sting them.
Feeding: While primarily photosynthetic, Discosoma spp. can benefit from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid foods.
Additional Notes: As this listing is for Discosoma spp., exact origin and maximum size can vary. Conservative husbandry practices are recommended to ensure optimal health and growth.
