I thought that they did not reproduce in the home aquarium.

How did you get so many?

I wish I could have that many plates I have nothing in my sand bed as yet I had a plate but it died due to lack of maintenance but now I'm back in the game hopefully I will get one soon! My hairy mushroom is starting to split

A friend of mine bought the colony but for some reason hated her tank and wasn't doing good so I ended up with it and you can see by the pics it is thriving. I do nothing special to it and have no idea why it is multiplying like a bunny lol. I used to spot feed it more often than I do now and that's when it was dropping babies left and right. I don't spot feed as often now but will start again soon as these babies are getting big enough and about ready to pop off.

Darylb94 i bought a green vietnam mushroom that ended up the size of a huge dinner plate and it split into 3. Now it is the size of a big dinner playe again. Had to chissel the rocks to get the mushrooms seperated cause the main mushroom was smothering them and hogging all the light lol

Maybe it was so traumatized by your friends tank it now has syndrome.

That's crazy! I'd love to get a good colony of plates and shrooms I could sell them off for $20 a polyp

 

[WhoKnew]

Well, I certainly would be interested in purchasing mushrooms. I'm a beginner in a 30g

 

[darylb94]

I wish I could ship corals to you my hairy shroom has started splitting but unless you live in Western Australia I can't haha it would cost $60 just to get it checked by customs then postage on top. I'm now on the search for a fungia colony

 

[WhoKnew]

I should have looked where you were located, right. Lol. I live in the mountains outside of NYC. But you can't imagine how hard it is to find corals. Good luck

Are they still growing?

I actually sold the main mother colony and not long after the person bought them 2 babies popped off and new babies started growing in their place. Haven't heard an update on them recently though. I have a mini colony that is still growing and doing well.
