This WYSIWYG specimen shows an exceptionally bright fluorescent green coloration across nearly the entire disc, with a heavily textured, folded surface that creates darker green valleys and brighter raised ridges. The overall effect is a vivid neon-green appearance that stands out strongly under blue-spectrum reef lighting. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiscosoma\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e mushrooms contain symbiotic zooxanthellae that provide much of their nutritional energy through photosynthesis, while they may also absorb dissolved nutrients and capture very small suspended foods.

Provide low to moderate lighting and low to moderate, indirect water flow. Strong direct flow can prevent full expansion or cause the mushroom to detach from its substrate. Place on stable lower to middle rockwork where it has room to expand and potentially spread. Maintain stable temperature, salinity, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, and phosphate. These mushrooms obtain most of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis but can also benefit from dissolved nutrients and occasional very fine foods. Acclimate gradually to stronger lighting, especially when moving from lower-light systems.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67630219198697,"sku":"U25 OC0707","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/glowing-discosoma-mushroom-soft-under-25-pea-F-OC0707.jpg?v=1791415838","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/glowing-discosoma-mushroom-coral","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
