  Special Requirements and Information:
Unusual and extremely cool! These are great additions to any reef tank and feed easily on microalgae, rotifers, zooplankton and any of the other small livestock in the water column. Placing mushroom corals too close to the flow source can injure or tear their bodies or dislodge them from the rock they're attached to. Place low in the tank until they become acclimated and then move them where you want.
Feed anytime during the day. Once they're accustomed to your tank, they can be introduced to frozen foods such as chopped blood worms, artemia or squid. Place the defrosted food directly over the mushroom and watch the filaments capture and move the foods to the mouth opening.
Non-aggressive and beautiful. They may propagate themselves or move on their own.
