A classic 'Superman' *Discosoma*: a deep red disc covered in raised, bright blue spotting, echoing the comic-book red-and-blue color scheme.
📜 Backstory
A long-standing trade name carried by many vendors, including Top Shelf Aquatics (TSA) and Tidal Gardens, which list a 'Superman' Discosoma (red base with blue spots). The 'Superman' color name is generic across the hobby and applied by multiple sellers to this red-on-blue spotted Discosoma; no single originator is verifiable, so lineage is debated.
Keeper tips for this variant
Low light and gentle flow on lower rockwork; Discosoma color holds best under bluer, lower-intensity lighting rather than full SPS-level PAR.
