What is it? Body color is like a dark brown with blue dots. I looks like it want to split soon.

hi can you post pic under whites . @LRT

 

[LRT]

Yeah def need better pix that show true colors. Brown with blue spots isn't wringing any bells though.

Def looks like some type of ricordea… as far as “selling name” it’s whatever you want it to be

Looks like a Florida ricordea - kali

 

[wcreef21]

Yes, I need to learn how to take better pics. Here more white. Let me know if this looks better

 

[LRT]

Probably no fancy name for it.
I'm also not seeing Florida Ric here. Looks more like Rhodactis to me but I'm usually wrong 99% of the time.

 

[Cell]

I'm seeing rhodactis as well.

Yeah it reminds me more of being more in the Unranium bounce family. Just without the big bubbles and color.

 

[Cell]

Tbh, I dont understand the ricordea Florida guesses at all.

Yeah it's a confusing one. I thought ricordia where more like the Yuma mushrooms. This looks like it's in between a ric and discosoma.

Texture isn't matching Ric, Disco, Yuma or Ricordia to my eyeballs. I do see how the correlation can be made considering the pattern of bubbles and amount of bubbles and quality of first pic.
I say same subspecies as uranium and some plutonium bounces.

Looks like snowflake rhodactus

 

[wcreef21]

Should I take it out? Sounds like a nuke ready end all in my tank! Lol. It's definitely alien

Don't rhodactis have more of a carpet look to them?

No they are actually a great addition and super hardy shrooms.
Not sure how long you have had it in your tank but they will typically crinkle up like that in to much light or flow.
May want to move it to low flow low light area of tank and see if it opens up.
If it opens up and starts stretching and cupping thats a good indication it needs more light.

some do and some dont. This is yuma rhodactis

 

[Cell]

Rhodactis yuma??? That's a thing?

 

[LRT]

Lol the Yuma Rhodactis thing threw me off too! So far I can't find them being classified under anything else but Ricordia.

I see what you mean. I just don't see enough bounce in it though.
