Classification: Premium Coral (Discosoma sp.)
Type: Mushroom Coral (Corallimorph) | Aquacultured | Single Polyp (1"–2")
The Burned Devil Interstellar Mushroom Coral is an extraordinary Discosoma morph that combines cosmic iridescence with fiery undertones. Its deep maroon-brown base radiates with electric green lines and bluish-teal highlights, resembling glowing magma cracks across an alien landscape. When illuminated under blue or actinic spectrum lighting, the coral’s intricate patterns ignite with a luminous, almost galactic brilliance — a sight that feels otherworldly in any reef aquarium.
Originally cultivated at coralSLover® from a single tank-grown lineage, this coral has developed remarkable color stability and adaptability over years of propagation. It thrives in diverse lighting and flow environments, forming dense, smooth discs that expand gracefully over rockwork. The Burned Devil Interstellar Mushroom Coral adds both texture and depth to your aquascape, offering a living canvas of molten colors and galactic glow.
Genus:Discosoma
Family: Discosomatidae
Common Names: Interstellar Mushroom, Burned Devil Mushroom, Cosmic Plate Coral
Coloration: Deep reddish-brown to chocolate base with radiating neon green to turquoise streaks; subtle blue sheen under actinic light.
Growth Form: Solitary, smooth-tissued disc coral with central mouth and radiating lines; attaches firmly to substrate via pedal disc.
Symbiosis: Contains Symbiodiniaceae (zooxanthellae) enabling photosynthetic nutrition.
Reproduction: Propagates asexually through pedal laceration and division, forming clusters over time.
Once settled, the Burned Devil Interstellar Mushroom spreads by developing small daughter polyps from its base. It forms a dense, glowing carpet of living tissue, adding both biotic balance and movement to the aquarium ecosystem. Its low aggressiveness and adaptability make it suitable for most reef setups.
Mushroom corals (Corallimorphs) are close relatives of stony corals but lack a calcified skeleton, giving them flexibility and resilience. The Discosoma genus is particularly prized for its color morphs and iridescence produced by fluorescent proteins that reflect ultraviolet and blue wavelengths — a biological adaptation that both protects the coral and enhances its visual appeal.
Collectors and reef enthusiasts seeking an exotic, low-maintenance coral with galactic coloration and steady, adaptable growth.
