Goldschläger Mushroom Coral: A Dazzling Reef Addition

Add vibrant color and easy-care charm to your aquarium with the stunning Goldschläger Mushroom Coral. This corallimorph brings a unique sparkle to any reef setup.

Overview

The Goldschläger Mushroom Coral (*Discosoma spp.*) boasts a captivating blend of lime green and forest green hues, highlighted by bright, glittering gold flecks across its body. These corallimorphs, often mistaken for soft corals or anemones, are actually more closely related to stony corals, lacking calcium carbonate skeletons. They are known for their smooth texture and the mucus they produce. Native to the Indo-Pacific, they inhabit shallow lagoons and reef slopes.

Care Level

Beginner. Discosoma mushrooms are renowned for their hardiness and adaptability, making them an excellent choice for novice aquarists. They are peaceful and generally compatible with most reef-safe fish and invertebrates, though they can spread and may require space management.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 38 litres (10 gallons) is suitable for a few Goldschläger mushrooms. They thrive in stable water parameters with a pH range of 8.1-8.2, specific gravity of 1.024-1.026, and a temperature of 22-28°C (72-83°F).

Diet

These corals are primarily photosynthetic, deriving energy from their symbiotic zooxanthellae. They also benefit from absorbing dissolved organic nutrients from the water column and can be offered small, particulate foods like phytoplankton once a week.
