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.

Another glimpse of the boy-behind-the-bat, with humor and heart; 4.5 stars
Format: Kindle
1st Line: "This is Gotham City." Review: This new graphic novel, of a pre-Batman Bruce Wayne as a kid, opens in a Gotham City already all but decimated by crime and corruption. But with all its horrors, the worst of them for the young, rich, highly-intelligent but otherwise nerdy Bruce Wayne, orphaned after the murders of his parents, is none other than the Gotham Preparatory School for the Really, Really Gifted - his middle school. Here, all the students have some form of super power or another (The Flash, Wonder Woman, Superman, Penguin, Catwoman, and more - all started off in middle grade here) ... except for Bruce, who only got into the school because his parents funded the building of it before their deaths, and remains a target for bullies for not having any powers of his own. But when fellow student Jack Napier, himself having no super powers except for conning his way into the school, begins bullying Bruce's friend, elementary student Dick Grayson, Bruce becomes determined to strike back - thus beginning his ascent to a career as a vigilante, even as his loyal butler Alfred and the school's vice-principal forbid it. But will Bruce get it together in time to foil Jack's plans for the Crime of the Semester? And what of Bane, Jack's new sidekick, who would be a formidable foe even for someone with superpowers? Bruce Wayne: Not Super is terrific; a comedic look at the young, super-smart yet geeky Bruce completely out of his element as a young kid, formerly with the attention span of a goldfish, who may have finally found his calling. Also nice are the glimpses of a number of future DC superhero icons in their youth, but the story really does belong to the humor of Bruce wanting to save his city, agreeing to take a hyperactive Robin in tow as his sidekick, with no knowledge of how to fight and an arsenal of weapons thrown together in minutes - and potentially of harm more to the user than the bad guy - all while Alfred says no and remains in constant threat of sending the future Batman to his room. The poor kid, after all, can't even put a bat costume together; in it, he's mistaken for everything from a badger to a rat to even a prairie dog. Bruce pushes past it all, his pluck and determination to save Gotham City one villain at a time his true calling, and among writer Stuart Gibbs glib and funny humor and Berat Pekmezci's bursting-with-color art, the very basic but heartfelt beginnings of the boy who'd grow to become The Bat shines through. It's really good. So good, I already itch for a sequel. 4.5/5 stars

Fun story with familiar characters
Format: Paperback
4 stars = Great! Might re-read. This was fun! I enjoyed the illustrations and getting to scan the crowd scenes for more DC characters. I enjoyed Bruce's journey. I didn't love the portrayal of Clark Kent here, but the rest of this was fun. I would definitely read more of these if there are going to be sequels. There's a one-star review here that is completely on target in their assessment of some of the liberties taken in the book. Buyer/reader will have to decide if those observations will lead you to skip this one or if you can set aside those internal inconsistencies to accept the story as is.

Fun for kids and those kids at heart!
Format: Paperback
When I was a kid around 8 or 9 years old, we would go to an outdoor theatre, a special treat. I remember the old 1960's era Batman movies playing on the screen. It was fun, exciting, heroic...all those things that made it pure enjoyment. When I think of recent Batman movies that have turned dark, deadly, desperate, all the fun has gone out of those experiences and I simply don't watch those movies. This is simply a long way of saying that this book, Bruce Wayne: Not Super, brought back all the fun I experienced as a kid. Here we have our hero, who doesn't think he is, who compares himself to everyone around him with supernatural abilities, and begins to grow desperate. The background story is essentially the same: dead parents, rotten town, etc. But we see life from his perspective and can root for him all the way. He goofs up, makes lots of mistakes and this makes him even more lovable. This book is prefect for readers young and old, and if this made into a movie, I guarantee you that I would watch it. Highly recommended.
