It started as a standard orange ricordia mushroom over a year ago. Now it looks like an anemone. I might be imagining but I've caught it reaching for fish on the way by. Anyone else? He came with about 8 buddies on a rock that I have split and placed elsewhere. They are doing the same to varying degrees

Here's a pic although doesn't do it justice like the video
 
In lower light environments, the individual polyps from any species of mushroom corals will stretch upward in the water column, creating a mushroom-like appearance. Amazing to see them stretch towards the light like this–this growth form and behavior is not unique to a particular species, but rather characteristic of the entire group under lower lighting conditions.
 
Ummm so i thought few years back we got bounce mushrooms and thought next big thing was going to be this mushroom ( the og tubers mushroom priced at £ 5000 for 1/ 4 inch colony ha ha

@vetteguy53081 I have moved them all over the tank with the same result. He's situated about half way up under 3 g5 xr30's. What constitutes a low light environment? Zoa's and other shrooms aren't stretching
