Superman Rhodactis Mushroom

Superman Rhodactis Mushroom Coral
Rhodactis spp.

Unleash bold color and texture in your reef tank with the stunning Superman Rhodactis Mushroom! This eye-catching soft coral earns its superhero name with a vibrant contrast of deep blue to purple base tones splashed with intense red or orange bumps (verrucae). Each polyp resembles a miniature alien landscape—making it a showpiece coral that’s sure to draw attention.

Hardy and relatively easy to care for, the Superman Rhodactis is perfect for both novice and expert reefkeepers. It thrives under low to moderate lighting and prefers low water flow, which helps preserve its unique surface structure and color intensity. Given time and stable conditions, it may slowly spread, forming a colorful mat across rock surfaces.
