Red discosoma mushroom? Just my guess

 

[Mcdy]

Red, almost round, and a whole in the middle--> thats my best guess!!

 

[Brandon Smith]

I agree with the red discosoma

It was sold to me as a jawbreaker , the mother looked similar but with black in it . Did i get screwed ?

 

[Mcdy]

I'm going to stick with red, almost round and whole in the center! You guys/gals have a good night and I hope you get someone to identify it!!

 

[Hemmdog]

It’s hard to tell if it’s a normal red discosoma or a Deadpool jawbreaker. What did you buy it as?

All jawbreakers are discosomas. Not all discosomas are jawbreakers. Just a fancy name. When I think of jawbreakers, I think of multicolored. Did you get screwed? Probably not but if you like it, it’s all good.

Thanks i am still new to the hobby and am still learning ,i search pics and am finding the same thing ,some ppl call it a jawbreaker some just plain red disc i guess it depends on who ever is trying to sell it lol either way i got it really tiny like a dime now its about 3 inches across i really like it but when it has babies i am wondering what to call it for trade purposes

I never really asked the guy who is a well known local coral seller,but the mother looked the same but had a little black in it he told me it was a jawbreaker didn't say anything about deadpool or any other popular name

Things can change color as they grow, get older, and/or get used to tank lighting and parameters. I have some red rhodactis mushrooms that were brown when I got them. They turned orange, took on a nice pattering and grew green mouths. Take care of it and see how it colors up later on.

That’s not bad. Just give yours some time and give it proper lighting and keep water consistent. Mushrooms are easy to care for. Also easy to propagate.

Very nice.

Mom looks like a Dead Pool to me. Yours is very vivid. I think it's the real deal. Imo.

I bought it from a local guy who sells alot of corals ,he's not known to be shady or anything like that and he'been doing this for a long time. I do notice it looks much different under different lights whites /blues

 

[Purplelobst92]

Well it depends on how much you paid for it, if you paid over 30 bucks id say yes you got overcharged for a red discosoma.

 

[Ljs9924]

Well i paid 75 but lately i have seen him charging like 100 ,he was also trying to sell the mother for like 300
