I was just given 3 tiny discosoma and I would like to put them on the main live rock, but if they are going to take over I will put them on an island. How bad are they for rapid multiplying?

My jawbreakers are killing everything in my tank now. A few babies blew away in the current and landed in random areas killing everyrhing around them.It seems to depend on how much they are worth. Something like an Eclectus barely multiply at all while the cheap ones can take over. You can kill them back with kalk. They also can leave your island and float to another place to make a new home
Send some my way I’ll show those shroomsMy jawbreakers are killing everything in my tank now. A few babies blew away in the current and landed in random areas killing everyrhing around them.
Maybe im the lone soul that complains about too many jawbreakers lol
My green striped mushrooms killed off some green bumpy ones...I think just for their rock.Beware of green disco's.
No wonder someone just offered to give me a few!I hate them as they have floated away and killed a few small frags and recently did this to a stag.
You can see them below the stag.
The stn stopped and has not spread. Its been a week.
I have been removing them but need to get as many as I can out.
They were 4-5 on a rock from my nano and they never spread in 2 years.
They are all over now and it seems the more I remove/kill the more they spread.
Their must be 30+ now and ones that I cant reach.
This pic is with no tank lights on so its easier to see.
I find them in my 4 powerheads quite often.
Beware of green disco's.
Agree with the others. Discosoma spread the the fastest and are more likely to let go and float around. Set up a Pico!!I was just given 3 tiny discosoma
Wow!A picture is worth a thousand words ...
Are they growing on the glass yet?A picture is worth a thousand words ...
That tank has been shutdown for 6 years, but yes, before that, they had spread to the glass and pretty much any rock or solid surface they could. It took me years to get rid of those blue discosoma mushrooms off the rocks that came from that tank. They are the devil.Are they growing on the glass yet?
Wow! That's complete takeover for sure. Is that the blue/green sheen variety? I think i have a couple in my tank now that'll have to try and just take the rock out now.A picture is worth a thousand words ...
They were the plain Smurf blue ones. I see them at the coral vendors occasionally.Wow! That's complete takeover for sure. Is that the blue/green sheen variety? I think i have a couple in my tank now that'll have to try and just take the rock out now.
