As the fleshy disc expands, the pattern spreads across the surface, making each individual mushroom slightly different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDiscosoma\u003c\/em\u003e are corallimorphs rather than stony corals. They're close relatives of reef-building corals but don't produce a hard skeleton, allowing the entire animal to remain soft, flexible and capable of dramatically expanding and contracting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy We Like It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's all about the pattern. Rather than relying on a single fluorescent colour, Leopard Discosoma have loads of fine detail that rewards a closer look.
