Description:
|
Lighting Level: Moderate
Placement: Any level, usually lower
Difficulty Level: Easy, good for beginners
Water Flow: Low to Medium
Temperament: Semi-Aggressive
Endemic Region: Indo-Pacific
Other Info: They are very hardy soft corals, often ideal for beginners. Formerly from a genus identified as Discosoma due to their disc-like appearance. They can have a wide variety of colors, textures, and patterns. Some are solid colors, such as blue, purple and red, with others being striped or spotted. Common varieties include Blue, Red, Green Striped, Blue Striped, Green Fluorescent, Spotted, Hairy, Bullseye, White Tip, Lavender, They easily multiply and spread very rapidly. If light intensity is high, placement should be lower in the tank. If they are placed in intense lighting, they may often demonstrate signs of bleaching and fail to fully open. Mushrooms need ample space between themselves and other corals, as when they open fully they will block light to nearby mushrooms or corals. Nutrition is provided by photosynthesis of the hosted symbiotic algae zooxanthellae within. They also filter particulate matter and may be fed plankton or brine. The larger Giant Cup Mushroom can eat fish and is often best kept on the bottom of its own tank.

I have a couple in my ten gallon nano, and they are excellent! They require very low light and spread all over! I bought two, two weeks ago and now I have four!
