Red Mushroom (per polyp)

The Discosoma cardinalis, commonly known as the Red Mushroom, is a captivating species that brings a vibrant burst of colour to any reef tank. This unique species, native to the Indian Ocean, is celebrated for its striking red hue, which provides a stunning contrast against the typical blues and greens of a marine environment. The Red Mushroom is an intermediate level species, necessitating a certain degree of care and attention to flourish. As a planktivorous creature, it thrives on a diet of plankton. To ensure optimal health and colouration, we suggest feeding it with Gamma Foods' premium plankton-based products. This species is perfectly suited to a reef tank setup, contributing to the overall biodiversity and aesthetic appeal. It is reef safe, ensuring it won't harm your corals or other marine life. One of the most intriguing aspects of the Red Mushroom is its natural behaviour. As a sessile creature, it remains fixed to a spot once it has settled, making it an ideal species for creating a stable, colourful display in your tank. The Discosoma cardinalis is a unique addition to your marine collection, sourced exclusively from our supply line at Tropical Marine Centre, ensuring its health and vitality upon arrival. In terms of tank size, the Red Mushroom is a versatile species that can adapt to various environments. However, providing as much space as possible is always beneficial to allow for natural behaviour and growth. In conclusion, the Discosoma cardinalis or Red Mushroom is a stunning, vibrant species that can invigorate your reef tank. Its unique colouration, natural behaviour, and feeding habits, particularly its preference for Gamma Foods' plankton-based products, make it a fascinating addition to any marine environment.
