Baby mushroom

[lynieboo]

Hello to those who read this.
Last night when my lights adjusted to moon light something caught my eye on my power head. I checked and found this baby I'm excited cause this is the first time I've had a mushroom do this! Should I leave it or move it cause I don't want it to get sucked up in there and get shredded. What should I do?

Remove it and put it in a small container with tank water. Take a frag plug or a small rock and put that in the container as well. Put the mushroom on the rock and leave it alone. If possible, locate it were it can get some light from the tank lights. Do a 50% water change twice a day (maybe with a turkey baster). In time, 3 to 10 days it should attach to the rock and then you can put it back in the tank.

Move it to a low flow area in your tank with some small rocks. If you are lucky it will attach to one of the rocks. Good luck

I'd move it. I have even used a fish breeder box with rubble to encourage them to settle in on a rock.

Thank you everyone for the input. I removed the baby and put it a mushroom jail with gravel to attach to. It seems fine for now.

I keep some containers of rubble in the sump and bring them up when I need them. Makes a great place for critters to live too. Trying to get a toadstool to attach now.

I'm a sucker for baby corals.
