Rock Red Mushroom (Fungiidae Coral) (Discosoma sp.)

(Also known as Red Mushroom Coral, Disc Anemone, or Red Rock Mushroom Coral)

Overview

The Rock Red Mushroom (Discosoma sp.) is a hardy and brilliantly coloured soft coral (Corallimorpharian) prized for its vivid red tones and smooth, fleshy appearance. Its broad, circular oral disc displays rich shades of crimson, scarlet, or metallic red, often with subtle highlights of orange or pink under blue-spectrum lighting. The coral’s soft surface may show faint radial lines extending from the centre, adding depth and character. Peaceful, resilient, and low-maintenance, the Red Mushroom Coral is perfect for aquarists seeking a bold splash of colour in shaded or low-light areas of their reef aquarium.

Origin

Native to the Indo-Pacific region, including the Great Barrier Reef, Coral Sea, Fiji, Tonga, Indonesia, and the Solomon Islands. Found in protected reef slopes, lagoonal environments, and under rocky ledges, where light levels are moderate to low and water flow is gentle.

Feeding

The Rock Red Mushroom Coral is photosynthetic, relying primarily on zooxanthellae within its tissues. Supplemental feeding can enhance colour vibrancy and promote faster growth. Feed 1–2 times per week with:

  • Finely chopped seafood (shrimp, clam, or fish)
  • Mysis or enriched brine shrimp
  • Marine snow or coral powders

Target feeding is optional but helps encourage colony expansion and reproduction.

Lighting

Low to moderate lighting.Discosoma corals thrive under gentle, diffused illumination and may bleach under overly intense light.

  • PAR range: 50–150 ¬µmol/m¬≤/s
  • Ideal for shaded rockwork, aquarium corners, or lower reef zones.
  • Blue and actinic lighting enhances the coral’s deep red fluorescence.
Water Flow

Low to moderate, indirect flow. Gentle water movement allows full expansion while preventing debris buildup. Avoid strong, direct currents, which can cause tissue retraction or detachment.

Placement
  • Place on lower rockwork or substrate, in shaded or partially lit areas.
  • Allow 5–8 cm (2–3 inches) of space between colonies or neighbouring corals.
  • Discosoma attaches naturally to rock and spreads by budding or tissue fission, gradually forming colourful carpets.
  • Excellent for nano reefs and low-light sections of mixed coral systems.
Tank Mates

Reef safe. Compatible with:

  • Peaceful reef fish (clownfish, gobies, tangs, wrasses, blennies, etc.)
  • Invertebrates such as shrimp, snails, and small hermit crabs
  • Other soft corals and non-aggressive LPS species

Avoid:

  • Aggressive corals with long sweeper tentacles (e.g., Euphyllia, Galaxea, Hydnophora)
  • Butterflyfish or large angelfish that may nip at soft tissue
Aggression

Mildly aggressive.Discosoma can release mild toxins and may overgrow slower-growing neighbours if placed too close. Provide adequate spacing to prevent contact.

Experience Level

Beginner. The Rock Red Mushroom Coral is hardy, forgiving, and highly adaptable, making it suitable for aquarists of all experience levels.

Water Parameters
  • Temperature: 24–27°C (75–81°F)
  • pH: 8.1–8.4
  • Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
  • Alkalinity (dKH): 8–12
  • Calcium: 380–450 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
  • Nitrate: <10 ppm (tolerant up to 15 ppm)
  • Phosphate: <0.05 ppm
  • Tank Size: Minimum 50 litres (13 gallons); ideal for nano reefs and larger systems

Stable water quality and moderate nutrient levels support optimal growth and maintain the coral’s deep red pigmentation.

Navy is pretty, but doesn’t feel like a great quality set.
Color: Navy Blue, Size: King
I purchased the Navy. The color is great and the pleated pattern is a nice touch. My daughter has the white and it’s very soft. The navy is not, though. So that was disappointing. It’s also not breathable. It’s not thick, but just not breathable. I actually get pretty warm at night with this one when I don’t normally with any other blankets. It also seems on the small side. We have a king and always buy king, this just feels a little smaller. Doesn’t feel high quality. I would not buy again.

Very Elegant!!
Color: Bright White, Size: Full/Queen
Beautiful comforter set! its super fluffy light weight while still cozy, gives a clean expensive look. It arrives wrinkled up from being packaged, i never steamed mine but you could do that if you want a crisp look. I love the quality and looks more expensive then it was, highly recommend!

Excellent buy!
Color: Blush, Size: Twin/Twin XL
I LOVE this set! It is perfect all year long! I fold it down in the summer to just cover my feet. In the Fall it’s perfect weight alone and in the colder months I use a blanket underneath! Everyone says it’s Beautiful! The color stays true wash after wash! It retains its shape well also! The pillow case is exactly like the cover! It also retains color & shape! It’s soft and you can just curl up in it! The quality is just as good as some other very expensive brands! This is great value for the money!

Beautiful bedspread
Color: Cream, Size: King, Color: Cream, Size: King
Exactly what I wanted. Color is right on. Lightweight but warm if you need some extra warmth. Pretty! Definitely order larger size. I have a queen bed and ordered the King. It's perfect for me.

Ok
Color: Dark Teal, Size: King
Looks pretty but not on my bed. It constantly looks messy. I don’t like the lack of neatness.
