About the Ultra Neglecta Mushrooms

Discosoma neglecta is a disc mushroom, a smooth, flat corallimorph, and 'ultra' is the trade term for especially colorful pieces. Mushrooms are among the easiest corals to keep: they prefer low to moderate light and gentle flow, and they need no special feeding. Give them a spot away from stony corals, because they slowly spread and can sting what they touch.
