More info

Rhodactis sp. Mushroom

One of the easiest and most beautiful corals you can get! Rhodactis mushrooms are a great choice for beginner hobbyists looking for resilient additions to their reef aquarium, as well as experienced collectors seeking to add a potentially rare piece to their setup. These corallimorphs come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, some of which are highly sought after by reef enthusiasts. Interestingly, the most expensive coral on the market currently is a variety of Rhodactis called the Bounce Mushroom. Fortunately for most hobbyists, the vast majority of these mushrooms are very reasonably priced.

See below for additional care tips for Rhodactis.

What You See Is What You Get

Location

Rhodactis corallimorphs, commonly referred to as "hairy mushrooms," are found throughout the Indo-Pacific. They are commonly harvested in the Indo-Pacific islands, including Fiji, Tonga, Solomon Islands, and the Great Barrier Reef.

Lighting

We generally keep our Rhodactis mushrooms in places with low light. Mushrooms, in general, do not respond favorably to extremely bright light and, in some cases, may develop white scars as a result of oxidative radicals on their bodies.

Low light

Low light is between 30 - 50 PAR per unit area

Medium light

Medium light is between 50 - 150 PAR per unit area

Intense light

Intense light is above 150 PAR per unit area

Water Flow

We recommend keeping the mushrooms in an area with relatively low flow in your reef. Too much flow can cause this particular species to become stressed and not fully extend. Some of the best extensions we observe in mushrooms are due to low flow.

Feeding

Rhodactis mushrooms can be fed. Some species feed more aggressively than others, but most accept meaty foods. Very large Rhodactis, such as the Elephant Ear variety, can consume fish by stunning them as they swim nearby and swallowing them while asleep. In the case of the specimen above, there is no danger to your reef inhabitants!
