This WYSIWYG coral frag features green to olive tissue covered with numerous bright yellow spots and raised vesicles, creating a bold high-contrast pattern across the disc. \u003cem\u003eDiscosoma\u003c\/em\u003e mushrooms contain symbiotic zooxanthellae that provide much of their nutritional needs through photosynthesis, while they may also absorb dissolved nutrients and capture very small suspended foods. As they mature, Discosoma mushrooms can enlarge considerably and may reproduce by division or pedal laceration, gradually producing additional polyps. Because exact species identification within \u003cem\u003eDiscosoma\u003c\/em\u003e cannot be confirmed reliably from external appearance alone, \u003cem\u003eDiscosoma\u003c\/em\u003e sp. is the most scientifically appropriate designation for this specimen.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare Guide:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eDiscosoma\u003c\/em\u003e sp. generally prefers low to moderate reef lighting with low to moderate, indirect water flow. Strong lighting or excessive direct flow can cause the mushrooms to remain contracted or detach from their substrate. Place on stable lower to mid-level rockwork with enough room for expansion and possible spreading. Maintain stable salinity, temperature, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, and phosphate. Discosoma mushrooms are primarily photosynthetic and usually do not require direct feeding, though occasional fine particulate or small meaty foods may be accepted. They are generally hardy and adaptable, but sudden changes in lighting, salinity, or temperature should be avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51917426065641,"sku":"F S2120","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/spotted-discosoma-mushrooms-soft-premium-frag-pea-F-S2120.jpg?v=1790031076","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/spotted-discosoma-mushrooms-premium-frag-pea-f-s2120","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
