The color possibilities are endless with discosoma. Green Fuzzy Mushroom or Elephant Ear Mushroomĭiscosomas tend to be smooth with few vesicle or bumps covering the disk.Metallic Blue Mushroom or Blue Mushroom.Strawberry Anemone or Club Tipped Anemone.Special order items are only available occasionally, and so may be on a longer than normal delivery time. See the Salty Revolution Shipping Guide for more information on our UK delivery service. You can buy online for pickup in store, or, UK delivery (delivery charge may apply). We deliver corals, inverts, fish, and, dry goods throughout the UK. Remove any fish or inverts that are harassing the coral. Some triggerfish such as Picasso triggers, and some Pufferfish such as Dogface puffers may eat mushrooms, but, very little else will touch mushrooms. Very few animals eat or harass mushroom corals. The less light there is on the mushroom the quicker it will open to full size. Within a couple of weeks it will open out to full size. So when the mushroom arrives it will look smaller than the size below. Please note: During shipping mushrooms will expel the water in the flesh and shrink, the same way that anemones do (which are closely related). Ideal if you want them to spread to cover large areas, or for farming. XL = XL mushrooms soon start producing baby mushrooms. Large = Large mushrooms are roughly are roughly 50p size. Medium = Medium mushrooms are roughly 10p size. They are nearly as big as a medium mushroom, but, nearer the price of a Tiny mushroom. Small = Small mushrooms are around 5p size. They are very small (around the size of the blunt end of a Biro). Large to XXL mushrooms may be on standard tiles (as above) or on larger solid natural stone tiles. Our mushroom frags in Tiny to Large sizes are normally sent on 23mm x 23mm (1”x1”) square solid natural stone frag tiles. If they are a species that does eat corals in the wild then remove any fish or inverts that are harassing the coral.Īll frags vary in size in appearance and so may be a different size, colour, or, shape, compared to the photo, which is shown only as a rough guide. Increase the amount of food and/or frequency of feeding. If this is a species that does not eat coral in the wild, then chances are it is only doing so in captivity due to lack of food. A completely revolutionary approach to coral nutrition. We recommend using Salty Revolution Coral Food 99. Furry mushrooms should be fed once or twice a day. For best results we recommend feeding mushroom corals frozen Mysis at least twice a week, and at least one feed a week with liquid coral food. We recommend target feeding corals at least once a week You may also wish to add liquid coral food too. See PLACEMENT above, or, contact us if you are unsure. The amount of flow a coral needs depends on the type of coral. Orange, yellow, and, pink, mushrooms tend to do best in heavy shade, and can be grown in pitch black conditions. Red mushrooms usually do best in low to very low light levels. So green coloured mushrooms tend to be more tolerant of low to medium light. Mushrooms mostly depend on capturing food rather than light for photosynthesis. Mushrooms with little or no Zooxanthellae have very little green, and so will be more towards pink, red, orange, or yellow, in colour. The more green Zooxanthellae a mushroom has, the more light dependent it is. If in doubt as to the right spot too little light is unlikely to do much harm, compared to too much light., this is particularly true with mushrooms, especially Yumas. If the spot is too bright it can bleach the coral. If a coral is in a spot that is a little low on light it will generally manage ok. When you receive your coral ensure you do not place it in a spot that is too brightly lit. Mushrooms can survive and still thrive under a standard maintenance regime, but, for the best growth rates on mushrooms change around 50% of the water weekly, although this is only necessary if you wish to maximise growth rates. Although mushroom corals can thrive in poor quality water, growth is far more spectacular with heavy water changes. Temperature and salinity should be kept as stable as possible, and low levels of nitrates and phosphates. Place in heavy shade low down in the tank.Īll corals require reasonable water quality. Mushrooms will do ok in low, and even very low flow rates, but, keeping them in medium flow will often bring faster growth rates. The only thing you need to watch is make sure you put them in a shady spot, other than that they thrive in almost all conditions. Mushrooms are an ideal first coral, being one of the easiest corals to keep.
