Just wondering if there is a reef guide for dummies to explain the difference from a true bounce and a mushroom with bubbles, any idea of what we looking for?
 
A True bounce usually has irregular shaped bubbles rather than perfect sphere shaped bubbles. Bubbles will also continue to grow and get larger on a true bounce as the mushroom ages.

That’s what am thinking, does it has to have a minimum size to?

I would think those are a bounce mushroom, and they look like they have potential. If you were planning on selling those as bounces I would wait until they got larger to see if the bubbles continue to grow and get larger. sometimes rhodactis get small bubbles like in the picture above that never really get any larger.

That’s good News, not thinking of selling to be honest just adding to my coral collection. Something to monitor I’d like to have a true bounce but not quite der yet den.

He’s still closed but what’s my chances of this to become something similar to a pirates booty? Will it need large bubbles and green mouth to develop?
