Neon Green Mushroom (Discosoma spp.) – A Vibrant Reef Starter

Introduce dazzling colour and easy care to your reef aquarium with the captivating Neon Green Mushroom coral. Its stunning hue and resilience make it a fantastic choice for any aquarist.

Overview

The Neon Green Mushroom coral, a striking member of the *Discosoma* genus, displays a brilliant, often fluorescent, green disc-shaped polyp. These soft corals are celebrated for their smooth, sometimes textured, surfaces and typically remain attached to rockwork or substrate. They are peaceful inhabitants, generally expanding to display their full, vibrant colour under appropriate conditions, adding a dynamic splash to your underwater landscape.

Care Level

Considered a beginner-friendly coral, the Neon Green Mushroom is remarkably hardy and adaptable. It boasts a peaceful temperament, making it suitable for most reef tank communities. Avoid placing it directly next to aggressive corals, though, to prevent potential chemical warfare or physical stinging.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 38 litres (10 gallons) is suitable for this resilient coral. Maintain stable water parameters: pH between 8.1-8.4, temperature 22-28°C (72-83°F), and salinity 1.024-1.026. Provide low to moderate water flow and lighting for optimal health and colouration.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, the Neon Green Mushroom relies on its symbiotic zooxanthellae algae for nutrition. However, it benefits from supplemental feedings of phytoplankton, zooplankton, or small meaty foods once or twice a week to enhance growth and vibrancy.
