Fine raised spots catch the light while darker radial lines and gentle colour shifts give the mushroom the weathered, layered look that inspired its name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a useful coral for adding colour to lower-light and lower-flow areas of the aquarium. Individual mushrooms naturally vary in shape and pattern, and their colour balance can change with reef lighting, nutrient availability, and how fully the disc is expanded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Reef Keepers Choose It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCool green, blue, and lavender colour with subtle radial patterning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBroad, fleshy growth that fills visual space without a stony skeleton\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWell suited to mushroom gardens and sheltered lower-rockwork areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA forgiving choice once attached and acclimated to stable conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Guidance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace Sea Glass Discosoma in low to moderate lighting, preferably on lower rockwork or a sheltered ledge. Begin on the lower end of the range and allow time for the mushroom to expand before increasing intensity. A specimen that remains tightly contracted or appears washed out may be receiving more light than it prefers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProvide low to moderate indirect flow. Gentle movement helps prevent debris from collecting on the disc, but the flow should not fold the mushroom, keep it closed, or pull at its attachment. If it repeatedly detaches, move it to a calmer area with a textured surface where it can secure itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDiscosoma\u003c\/em\u003e mushrooms can expand and reproduce when comfortable, so leave room between this coral and slower-growing neighbours. They are photosynthetic and normally obtain most of their energy from light, although established mushrooms may capture occasional fine particles or very small meaty foods. Avoid heavy target feeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuick Care Snapshot\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater flow:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to moderate, indirect\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Generally peaceful; can spread when established\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlacement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to middle, with room to expand\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Photosynthetic; supplemental feeding usually unnecessary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDiscover more \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ndaquaculture.ca\/collections\/zoas-and-mushrooms\"\u003ezoanthids and mushroom corals\u003c\/a\u003e, and review our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ndaquaculture.ca\/pages\/shipping\"\u003eshipping information\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ndaquaculture.ca\/pages\/arrive-alive-guarantee\"\u003eArrive Alive Guarantee\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Dawn Aquaculture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42784365379838,"sku":"","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0058\/6242\/4647\/files\/Sea-Glass-Discosoma_NDA.png?v=1786797748","url":"https:\/\/ndaquaculture.ca\/products\/sea-glass-discosoma","provider":"New Dawn Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
