| Fast Facts |
All Marine Center Corals are hand picked
One of the easiest "corals", mushrooms will thrive in most aquariums. Placing pieces lower in the aquarium for indirect lighting and low water movement promote the best expansion, but they will but will adapt to a wide variety of conditions. Feeding is not necessary but may enhance growth. Individuals that are only tiny polyps when collected can grow to impressive mushrooms in only a few months.
A variety of species are sold in the trade as Green Mushroom, but all are similar looking and require the same care. Green HairyMushrooms are collected on small pieces of randomly shaped rocks ranging from around 2"-5". plentiful as medium and small sized pieces. Green Frilly Mushrooms are usually the best buy in mushrooms since they are typically loaded with polyps compared to other other colors. Grow rapidly in most aquariums.
