About this item

Red St. Thomas Mushroom

Red St. Thomas Mushrooms (Rhodactis sanctithomae) are a rare and highly sought-after soft coral native to the Caribbean, prized for their vivid red coloration and distinctive bubble-like vesicles. Their bold red polyps contrast beautifully against a cobalt blue and cyan base, making them a true showpiece in any reef aquarium.

These mushrooms are photosynthetic and largely self-sufficient under aquarium lighting, making them one of the easiest and most rewarding corals to keep. Over time, these mushrooms can spread naturally across rock surfaces, forming a lush colony that enhances the overall depth and texture of your aquascape.

Special Considerations

Red St. Thomas Mushrooms can spread over time and may cover nearby rock surfaces. Allow space for growth and avoid placing near slow-growing corals that could be overtaken. If receiving too much light they may shrivel — simply move them lower in the aquarium as needed.
