A One-of-a-Kind Jawbreaker Mushroom
The Darthmaul Jawbreaker Discosoma Mushroom is a striking collector coral featuring intense coloration and a distinctive Jawbreaker-style pattern. Its bold appearance makes it an excellent centerpiece for mushroom gardens, nano reefs and mixed reef aquariums.
This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the product photographs is the exact specimen the customer will receive.
Coral Care Requirements

- Temperament: Semi-aggressive
- Lighting: Low to moderate
- Water Flow: Low to moderate
- Placement: Lower portion of the aquarium
- Aquaculture Status: Aquacultured

Recommended Water Parameters

Stable water conditions are more important than chasing exact numbers. Avoid placing the coral directly under intense lighting or in strong, turbulent flow.
Placement and Acclimation
Begin by placing the coral in a low-light, low-flow area. Gradually increase lighting exposure if necessary while monitoring its response.
Discosoma mushrooms may expand beyond the size shown in photographs once acclimated and fully opened. Provide adequate room between this coral and nearby sessile invertebrates because mushrooms can spread as they grow and reproduce.
