My newest shroom

[easternreefer]

This came as a freebie on some live rock I picked up last night.

Nice! Looks fat and happy

Agreed, you'll have little sprouts in no time.

I like it. I wonder why you don’t see more tanks with shrooms in them?

 

[easternreefer]

just below to the right is a small baby that I didn't see until I looked at the pic again.

They can be invasive and difficult to remove. I agree though, I like how they look and the colors are nice.

Some people like the challenge of maintaining an SPS tank and shrooms are considered low rent to some of them.

I am tired of trying to grow stuff that dies as soon as I work out of town again for a few weeks.

A softy tank is easy to maintain and has just as beautiful colors with the right choices.

@norfolkgarden do you have a name for the striped discosoma in the middle of the second pic? love the orange one too.

 

[norfolkgarden]

No names, just what is available at the LFS.

The orange is pretty special. Been watching them in LFS display tank for years. Finally convinced him to remove a few for sale this year.

I have two of them one very tiny just below the one in my pic on this thread and then another that is the size of a quarter on another rock.. if you get the orange to grow please let me know. I would love to have one of those.

LFS has a Display tank that has a 1.5 foot frogspawn that has been growing there for at least 20 years.
It is truly spectacular.
Need to get a pick of it up here.
Awesome shop. 2 display tanks in salt and 1 in fresh that have been growing for several decades.
Watching them evolve and enjoying the continuity and knowing what is possible has been a huge asset as a hobbyist.
They have had a few seriously rough patches with the AC system over the years but that has not destroyed the tanks.

Definitely a favorite shop and wonderful local asset.

Take a pic or video of the beast frogspawn the next time you go....if you feel lik it ... Id like to see a frogspawn that big!

I got a few in my tang and frag systems.

 

[skiergd011013]

I love shrooms and don't really consider them invasive. If i had an sps tank, then maybe.

 

[norfolkgarden]

+15 year Frogspawn at local LFS.
The one on the left is an older frag of the main colony.

The two clown fish are 2.5 and 3 inches.

 

[norfolkgarden]

Awesome mushrooms.

None are eclectus or tie dye or jaw breakers.
Just beautiful single colors that have been in the tank for over a decade.

Finally talked him into selling a few of the orange and the reddish pink ones this year.
