Green Rhodactis Mushroom

Overview:

Green Rhodactis Mushroom is a unique, hardy coral beloved by reef enthusiasts for its remarkable texture and vibrant neon green coloration. Known as “Hairy Mushrooms” or “Elephant Ear Mushrooms,” these corals feature fleshy, branching pseudotentacles that create a carpet-like appearance, offering a striking addition to any reef tank. They serve as an excellent intermediary between soft corals and LPS, demonstrating both resilience and dynamic feeding behavior by folding around food particles.

Colorization:

The coral displays a brilliant neon green coloration that adds vividness and life to your aquarium environment.

Size:

Available as a single mushroom ranging from 1 to 3 inches in size, suitable for various tank configurations.

Lighting:

Thrives under low to moderate lighting levels, specifically between 75 to 125 PAR. Excessive light can cause shriveling or bleaching, so controlled illumination is essential.

Water Flow:

Prefers low to medium water flow conditions. High flow rates may cause the mushroom to detach and drift seeking calmer waters.

Feeding:

Primarily photosynthetic but benefits greatly from weekly feedings of mysis shrimp or specialized coral pellets to enhance growth and coloration.

Aggressiveness:

This coral is semi-peaceful; it lacks stinging tentacles but may overgrow neighboring corals. Some larger specimens can occasionally trap small fish or invertebrates.

Care Level:

Ideal for beginners, these corals are very easy to care for and provide a durable option for reef setups.
