{"product_id":"red-discosoma-mushroom","title":"Red Discosoma Mushroom","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen people first get into the reef aquarium hobby they often ask us about hardier corals that are good for beginners, and my first suggestion is usually mushrooms from the genus Discosoma, despite the fact that they are corallimorphs and not corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere’s three main reasons that make these mushrooms such a good option. First, the Discosoma are one of the most resilient of the corallimorphs. They can thrive in a wide variety of tanks, and are known to put up with some neglect that is sometimes observed by those who are newer to the reef hobby and don’t exactly know what they’re getting themselves into. I often joke that if your Discosoma are dying, you really need to find a new hobby, because this reef aquarium thing probably isn’t going to work out if you can’t keep these practically indestructible forces alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second reason Discosoma are so great is that they come in every color imaginable as well as a variety of patterns. There are some that are striped, spotted, and even some with irregular splotches, but the most striking ones are usually the ones that are just a solid color. So if you are a beginner that is setting up a tank for the first time, you’re going to have a Discosoma for any aesthetic you would want to achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third reason these mushrooms are a great option for any new aquarist, is they can be propagated really easily. These mushrooms will also naturally divide by a process called pedal laceration. This is where, the mushroom will slowly walk around and leave pieces of its foot behind and those pieces will grow into new mushrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Two Corals Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44323950952557,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/5553\/4701\/files\/FullSizeRender_7d1dd8e2-3156-4a84-b832-c23866d8f9bf.jpg?v=1772566945","url":"https:\/\/2corals.co.za\/products\/red-discosoma-mushroom","provider":"Two Corals Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
