tippMANn98 · 04-14-2008, 11:24 AM

I bought one of--->Discosoma (Rhodactis) sanctithomae, its a caribbean discoma/rhodactis, its under that species, but it is totally different then most Rhodactis shrooms. I liked it soooo much, that I had to pic up its little friend.....Its just another species addition to my "shrooms" now currently up to 5 types. Anybody have any of these???

First Purchase:

Had to go back!

I like the shape of it.
Does it come in any other colors?
I think I've hit my pink quota.

tippMANn98 · 04-14-2008, 12:15 PM

They are actually more of a whitish blueish greenish....the pink is a bad "white balance" setting. I have read they usually have blue to green to brownish colors.....

vdituri · 04-14-2008, 12:16 PM

Maybe thats what I need to check on my camera settings.

Cool looking shrooms.

Does anybody have these??? I guess i am the ONLY ONE with a mushroom infatuation.

I just saw one of those this weekend at the lfs. I asked the kid working there what it was, and he said, "Uh....I think it's a bubble coral or something." I passed on it, not knowing what it was, but I like it alot.

Now you know what it is.....maybe go back and get it if the price is right.

Sweet looking shroom bro! I like it a lot!! I can see where one might "guess" bubble coral but I would like to think under closer inspection he would guess something else.

Keep us posted and put Me on the list

The guy at my LFS SAID he was getting these cool shrooms a few weeks ago....I was in there just looking around...I looked over these...at first glance I saw a rock anemone, or a sickly looking bubble or a tooth coral....then he pointed them out to me and I got a better look. I was like Oh YEA!! sold....then i went back 2 days later to get the other.

funkpolice · 04-17-2008, 05:28 PM

when I saw them, I thought they were some kind of anenome too. I knew for sure it wasn't a bubble, I also know the kid at the lfs knows next to nothing. I did go back, but the shrooms had either been sold or died.
