The Aussie Ultra Hot Interstellar Mushroom is one of the most visually arresting Discosoma variants to come out of Australian waters — a swirling, otherworldly display of electric neons, metallic sheens, and deep-space patterning that photographs like science fiction and looks even better under reef lighting. Sourced from premium Australian aquaculture operations, this 2-polyp frag represents a genuine collector's opportunity in a market where truly standout morphs are increasingly hard to find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMushroom corals (Discosoma sp.) are famously forgiving, making this an ideal high-impact addition for reefers of any experience level. Each polyp can reach 3–5 inches at full expansion, filling in naturally over time to create a rich, flowing carpet effect on rockwork or open substrate. Their slow, undulating movement under flow gives a reef tank a sense of life and depth that few other corals can match — and as a low-flow species that does well in low to moderate light, they reward placement creativity without demanding perfection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eQUICK STATS \u0026amp; CARE GUIDE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aussie Ultra Hot Interstellar Mushroom (Discosoma sp.)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2-polyp frag, each polyp approximately 1–2 inches; expands to 3–5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy — excellent for beginners and advanced reefers alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-aggressive — can sting neighboring corals with chemical allelopathy; provide adequate spacing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primarily photosynthetic (zooxanthellae); benefits from occasional target feeding of coral-specific foods or micro-plankton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Safe:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, with caution — keep spaced away from stony corals and LPS neighbors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Conditions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Temp 76–80°F | Salinity 1.025–1.026 | pH 8.1–8.3 | Low flow | Low to moderate lighting (50–150 PAR)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWHY BUY FROM THE CORAL BOUTIQUE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery specimen leaving The Coral Boutique is ethically sourced, fully quarantined, and conditioned in our Miami facility until it is eating, expanding, and thriving — so what arrives at your door is a healthy, acclimated coral ready to settle into its new home, not recover from the journey.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Coral Boutique","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67614314627347,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/3647\/2595\/files\/FullSizeRender_749b4413-ea91-44d9-9629-762187c7dfb5.jpg?v=1791176759","url":"https:\/\/thecoralboutique.com\/products\/aussie-ultra-hot-interstellar-mushroom-2p","provider":"The Coral Boutique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
