Red mushroom

[shoelevy]

hi guys, i went to lfs and bought this mushroom thinking it was discoma because i didn't see the blue spots underneath the low light in the lfs

but wen i put in my main tank, under bright lights, i see the blue dots

i'm pretty sure they're not discoma, so can someone pls help me ID them?

thank you

they are discosoma ( speckled mushroom )

they dont respond well to strong light and current.

In fact FL light and low current allows them for max expansion and reproduction

got them from t95

[sunny03]

there are many kind of discosoma they came in many kinds

surface can be smooth, rough, dimpled, pimpled and frilly. as for colors can be solid, mottled, metallic, striped, patterened, spotted and more

some species can change their surface texture and colouration depend on lighting any their enviroment.

one more question

which is more popular or more commonly seen?

the complete red one or mine?

it all up to each one.

if there are more ppl like complete red therefore the LFS will bring in more red type

it all about the demand and supply

in return how offen have u seen the bi- colour type .???

hahahha

Bro, actually, with no offence to sunny03, tink they can survive well with stronger lights too, coz I keep mine under 250W MH, so far no problem too!! So dun get overly worried if u got strong lights...

it ok we are here to share.

i did that as well with some discosoma under 150w mh but under shelter from the lights near the bottom.

other discosoma which is much away from the light open much more bigger
