Fast Facts

One of the easiest "corals", mushrooms will thrive in most aquariums. Placing pieces lower in the aquarium for indirect lighting and low water movement promotes the best expansion, but they will but will adapt to a wide variety of conditions. Feeding is not necessary but it may enhance growth. Individuals that are only tiny polyps when collected can grow to impressive mushrooms in only a few months. The blue and red and mushrooms are collected on small pieces of randomly shaped rocks ranging from around 1"-3". Larger pieces in these colors of mushrooms are not collected, but they can, and typically do grow rapidly in most aquariums.

Shown is a piece that has been thring in a reef tank for months. Newly imported pieces will not look this full, but they can get there fast.
