Jawbreaker mushrooms

[turok]

so do the stumps grow into shrooms? and do they look the same?

My experience with the jawbreaker. I bought my original a year and a half ago from a reliable source here in Sacramento. It wasn't producing the green so I bought another one from a well known reefer here on reef2reef. The original mushroom took a long time to split but once it started, it is multiplying like crazy. It is exponential, 1 turns into 2 and 2 to 4 and 4 to 8 and so on. Most of the babies have orange and red as babies. Darker orange developing later on and the original is only now starting to show specks of green after a year and a half. I think price is dictated by coloration and size.





Some of my more mature jawbreakers

From one of the picture, looks like your mushroom tree are close to SPS. Do you have to acclimate them to high-light? ... or they can handle high-light right of the bat?

Never had a baby off this one in the 2 years I had her. Just happened to look at her today after a few weeks and she developed purple. Shes ticked off after moving her to take a pic.

Yea usually any pieces left behind on the rock will grow into a new shroom.

They are getting pretty high light and flow. Like any coral i would always start it off low and slowly acclimate.
Here is a picture from today.

I think people are hesitant to cut for a few reasons. Some people don't like doing it for moral reasons. Others don't want to cut the $200-$300 purchase in half and risk it dying. My bet is that there are people out there that have cut them successfully.

I was able to successfully propagate a jawbreaker juvenile that I got rather cheap and each of the “cuts” have doubled in size!

I have never been a fan of mushrooms but I did get my first Jawbreaker about 2 weeks ago.

any idea why it’s doing this ?

Random question. Obviously, the Kmaintl strain is the OG jawbreaker. What about Mark Poletti strain? They appear to be the same, since they get large and have the green and sometimes purple coloration, but I was just looking for clarification. Thanks
