Discosoma spp. (Special Selected Ultra) are a captivating group of soft corals prized for their vivid colours and unique mushroom-like appearance. This medium-sized specimen is specially selected to enhance the aesthetic of your marine aquarium.
Care Level: Easy to moderate care, suitable for hobbyists with some experience in soft coral husbandry.
Lighting Requirements: Discosoma spp. thrive under moderate lighting conditions. Too intense lighting may cause bleaching, so LED or T5 lighting with adjustable intensity is recommended.
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate water flow is ideal to prevent sediment accumulation on the coral surface while ensuring adequate nutrient exchange.
Placement: Position this coral on rockwork or substrate in areas with moderate light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions and allow for expansion.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but will benefit from occasional feeding of microplankton or coral-specific liquid foods.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Discosoma spp. are generally reef-safe but can release toxins if stressed, so monitor tank conditions carefully.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters with regular testing and water changes. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow to reduce stress.
