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.

Almost perfect
Color: White
Stainless steel. Holds a large quantity of milk (enough for two). Works well with alternative milks. Easy to clean. Easy set up and instructions. Frothing, heating, cold foam, and hot chocolate options. Perfect temp. Not 5 stars because of the constant high pitched squeel sound it makes. Almost enough to make me return it!

Hot cocoa every morning!
Color: White
I absolutely love this machine. I make my hot cocoa every morning with it. It is so easy you just put the milk in and high-quality hot chocolate mix. Push the button and then it just whips it up and gives it a little bit of a froth on the top when it’s finished. It’s so fast and easy. It would be a great gift for anybody that likes hot chocolate.

Best way for hot chocolate
Color: Black
works great, I use it for hot chocolate. Easy to clean. Something to consider though the Max light may be a little lower than shown depending on the milk you use.

Check your milk preference when buying this unit. Product Does not last
Color: White
I purchased this frother in mid Oct and less than 90 days later, it's no longer working. The wisk does not spin, and the element does not heat the milk. I am currently working with customer support on a refund / replacement, but so far not happy. I've been told it does not work with 2% organic milk and that I need to switch to whole milk, which will solve my issues. Not sure how whole milk will help with the heating element? This was not disclosed when I purchased the unit. If I had known my milk choice would impact the frother, I would have chosen another brand or product. I like the unit, it's compact, easy to clean, but it did not last.

Still The Best Frother Ever!
Color: Black
I love how it is easy to use, how it holds a charge, and how much power it has. I've only charged it once since I got it & I've been using it on a daily basis!!! Though it isn't a long time, I'm happy with it so far! I definitely will recommend it to anyone looking for a great frother. If you are looking for one, look no further! You won't be disappointed! I've read some comments where they found it to be too strong that their drink spilled everywhere. But for me I have not had any incident of spilling over. I have used it both for my coffee and my matcha tea and it worked great without any spilling over. You just have to start with the lowest power and ensure that you have a large enough container to have a room for your frothing. My sister tried to use it recently during her visit to make us matcha tea. However, she experienced spillage all over the cup, because she had used a small cup. Otherwise, she liked it very much and said she will get one when her battery operated one stops working... Another thing I like about the product was the customer service that I had received. When I got my first order which came quickly, it wasn't working after having charged it over 24 hours. It was not turning on at all. I returned it and ordered a replacement which I received within a day or two. This time after charging it for the recommended amount of time, I was a bit skeptical when I turned it on. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it worked like it was supposed to and it has been working ever since having charged it only once so far. I may come back and give an update depending on how it does after 6 months of use, so keep in tune... I don't know if there is a way to write a new entry as a follow up to the old entry, so I'm going to add my follow up comment over here. May 23, 2025 - I love my frother more than I can say in words. It's functionality has not changed a bit from the time I have purchased it. It charge lasts several weeks to few months before I charge it again and the power is still the same. Recently I decided to buy another one for my office use. I like the white color and so tried it but that one wouldn't even turn on. And then I got a gray one to have a different color. That one was much weaker than the black one I own. Then I replaced it with another gray one within few days. I tried it and it was exactly the same as the one I already replaced. So then I decided to go with a black one again hoping that it would be the same as the one I have. The black one did much better than the gray ones in the strength or power of the frother. However, it is weaker than the one I already have been using since last August. While I am not very happy with the quality being inconsistent in all of the ones I have tried including the recent pictures of the black one, I have decided to keep the black one because it is relatively better than the gray ones I tried. What I don't understand is why there is inconsistency in the quality of the same product by the same maker. I am beginning to wonder if the black one I purchased in Augusta last year was anomaly of a quality and a good way. Maybe I lucked out on my older black frother, but I'm unsure if quality is going to get better if I were to order another one. I have a sister who is a pro in making coffee drinks and she was the reason I had ordered this frother to begin with. She uses a battery operated one at this time and I have been thinking about getting her one like mine. While I am still skeptical, I am going to give it a shot and order her one sometime soon. If it doesn't work, I guess we will return it back. But one thing that I am grateful is that I have been able to return every one of those that I have tried recently with no issues. I hope that I don't have to return my most recent purchase in black. I was not even able to review the new purchase because of the item being the same color which is crazy.
