Genus
Common name: Mushroom Corals
Scientific name: Actinodiscus
Actinodiscus, commonly known as Mushroom Corals or Disc Anemones, are a genus of soft corals popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their hardiness and variety of colors. These corals are not true anemones but are similar in appearance and behavior. They are known for their ease of care, making them excellent choices for beginner aquarists. Mushroom Corals can reproduce asexually, often seen as 'budding' off new corals from their base, which can be used for propagation in the aquarium.
