Introduction

Discosoma carlgreni is closely related, and the two may sometimes hybridize, confusing the distinction between them. Find some here[1]Discosoma carlgreni has more numerous and smaller lappets at the margin of the disc, and it has more numerous pseudotentacles. These pseudotentacles are also branched in large specimens, whereas in Discosoma neglecta the pseudotentacles are more lobe-like. Both Caribbean species of Discosoma reproduce in aquaria by budding and pedal laceration, but in my experience colonies grow much more slowly than Indo-Pacific Discosoma, even when they are fed regularly
