Mushies

[T-Bone Tyrone]

Hey,
took my first step onto the coral ladder, I wanted a rock with some aiptasias for my peps, and have ended up with some mushies too, there are three on this one peice of rock, and all appear to be different, could someone point in the direction of a species guide, also do they wander?

You need to stick a photo up mate, but usually mushrooms are mushrooms, but you can get a huge variety of them, they don't wander like anemones but do detach from the rock to spread, you can usually place them where you want and hold them in place with a piece of mesh or net curtain, after a couple of weeks they should've got themselves rooted to the rock again.

Like zoas they usually prefer to be lower down in the tank too, they're pretty hardy and spread easily.

Here's a couple of mine i shot while trying to get to grips with the camera, shows one of my orange/green ones next to a blue one

do I have to target feed them? or can I simply ad a lil zooplankton to the water?

[ejit]

think its mosly down to yourself.seen people never feed them and they still have done well.personally I use the D&D food twice a week and target feed my mushrooms and other corals.

get it to attach to a rock.I was very surprised
when dobbies said they can get more ric's in

I've always had an issue with mushrooms,they hate my tank :confused: my furry ones r great but any others just seem to die off,my Yuma seems great (at the moment)

they dont like stong flows or high light.mine do best furthest
away from the powerheads and on the sandbed
