Discosoma spp. (Blue) | XXL

Discosoma spp. (Blue) is a captivating soft coral known for its vibrant blue colour and distinctive mushroom-like appearance. This extra extra large specimen offers a bold focal point for marine aquarists seeking to enhance their reef tanks with hardy, visually appealing corals.

These corals are relatively easy to care for, making them suitable for hobbyists with some experience in maintaining soft corals. Discosoma spp. thrive under moderate lighting conditions and prefer low to moderate water flow, which helps maintain their health without causing tissue damage.

Placement within the aquarium should consider adequate spacing from other corals to prevent aggressive interactions and ensure optimal growth. They can be positioned on rockwork or substrate where they can expand fully.

Feeding is generally not required as Discosoma spp. derive much of their nutrition from photosynthesis via their symbiotic zooxanthellae. However, occasional supplementation with fine particulate foods can promote growth and vibrancy.

As a reef-safe coral, Discosoma spp. (Blue) are compatible with most reef inhabitants, though care should be taken to avoid placing them near highly aggressive coral species.
