This specimen displays an intense red to scarlet surface densely covered with raised red-orange vesicles, accented by scattered pale cream to yellow highlights that create a starburst-like appearance across the disc. The combination of vivid coloration and heavy surface texture gives this mushroom exceptional visual impact under reef lighting. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiscosoma\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a currently recognized marine genus, although species-level identification from aquarium coloration and external appearance alone is not dependable, making \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiscosoma\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e sp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e the most appropriate scientific designation for this specimen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCare Guide:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiscosoma\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e sp. generally performs best under \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003elow to moderate reef lighting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003elow to moderate, indirect water movement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Strong direct flow can prevent the fleshy disc from fully expanding or may cause the mushroom to detach from its substrate. Place it on secure rockwork where it has room to expand without rubbing against neighboring corals. Maintain stable temperature and salinity, and keep nitrate and phosphate measurable and reasonably consistent rather than excessively low. Photosynthesis supplies much of its nutritional energy, although fine suspended plankton and appropriately sized particulate marine foods can provide supplemental nutrition. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDiscosoma\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e mushrooms may gradually reproduce and spread across nearby rockwork, so allow adequate room for colony development.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67802119078121,"sku":"F OC2775","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/starburst-discosoma-mushroom-soft-premium-frags-pea-F-oc2775.jpg?v=1793228935","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/starburst-discosoma-mushroom-pea-f-oc2775","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
