mushroom coral

[davemc77]

As I'm new to this game is this normal ? I put a mushroom coral in my tank yesterday n it has been in full bloom till 5 mis ago. The light is still on and it has just closed down all if a sudden.

That looks like a toadstool leather coral. Not a mushroom. Did you get a from local store? Before you purchased did you see any polyps coming out of top of it?

If it is a leather than it is normal for it to slump like that on I occasion. If mine does I would move pump more towards it will force it to build stronger stem.

Thanks for that I have moved my wave maker closer will that help ?

It may help. It is brand new to the tank. So give it some time. This is my toadstool leather looks similar to yours. Who Told you it was a mushroom?




There are 2 purple mushrooms in the pic as well. Right under leather.

Great. Polyps should come out in day or 2 after gets used to tank. Very easy coral and grows fast. Also extremely easy to frag.
