Description

Warty corallimorphs, Discosoma sanctithomae, are an interesting corallimorph that seem to be a cross between a ricordea and a Warty corallimorphs, Discosoma sanctithomae, are an
interesting corallimorph that seem to be a cross between a ricordea and a discosoma mushroom.  They come is a variety of shades of green, blue, and sometimes red, and have differing colors and types of tentacles. We have a limited number of the bright red color morph, which may in fact be a different species of Discosoma.

All of the corallimorphs we sell are extremely hardy and are great for any level of reef keeper, from the novice to the pros.  They are primarily photosynthetic, but should be fed some sort of supplemental planktonic foods.  In the wild they eat the organic dust and silt that settles on them, so when feeding them, dust them with food.

The two species of anemone shrimp from the Caribbean, Periclimenes yucatan and Periclimenes pedersoni, will readily take up residence on these discosoma polyps and provide an interesting show in your tank

These are loose polyps and are not attached to any significant amount of substrate.  They will eventually attach to any clean substrate in your tank, or you can epoxy or superglue them to what ever you want.

As with all corallimorphs, anemones, zoanthids, and corals, be careful handling them in and out of the water.  They produce stinging cells that can sting your hands and irritate your eyes, so use gloves if you’re sensitive to their sting, and don’t let the mucus get in your eyes.
