The Tequila Sunrise Rhodactis Mushroom is a vibrant, high-contrast variety that brings a “tropical sunset” aesthetic to the reef. It is easily identified by its electric orange and yellow highlights over a deep red or teal base. Like other Rhodactis, it features a textured, shaggy surface with “hairy” pseudotentacles that glow intensely under blue LED lighting. This mushroom is highly prized by both beginners and advanced collectors because it offers a “bounce-like” color palette without the extreme price tag or sensitivity of a true Bounce mushroom.
Coloration: Bright neon orange and golden yellow centers/highlights over a teal base
Size: 1–3 inch diameter (can expand and contract significantly based on light)
Lighting: Low to moderate (Par 50–120; too much light will cause the orange to fade or the mushroom to detach)
Water flow: Low (needs just enough movement to keep the “hairs” swaying; high flow will cause it to shrink)
Feeding: Photosynthetic, but will grow much faster with weekly feedings of mysis shrimp or specialized coral powders
Aggressiveness: Peaceful
Care Level: Very Easy
