Hello reefers,

I let my wife do the shopping and wound up with 2 of the corals attached, one went missing yesterday, and showed up today. Any idea?

The reciept said general fungia, But I'm not sure. Also do what ever they are often dislodge and float?

The red one in the picture is mushroom. Fungia look like plate with tenacles when it open, they prefer sand bed placement, if you put fungia on rick it can move and fall on the sand up side down and die.

thanks! Do mmushrom often dislodge from rock?

Yes they can detach it self and float around until they stick to another spot. Yours are might have shrink up and will open again when they adjust to new environment. Mushrooms mostly very hardy coral, unless your water are out of whack and they melted.

A lot of people have little cups or small trays set up in a low low flow area of their tanks with small rock rubble in it ,, they place the mushroom in the tray until it reattaches to a rubble piece ,, then they can mount it where they want ,, this is a low flow coral ,,

Ahh theres the issue, i have one on the sand bed (low flow) and one on the rock who wound up stuck to the drain pipe.

If you reattach to a rubble piece ,, then mount it back into a high flow area ,, it will let loose again ,, this is a low flow coral ,, do a search on mushrooms on You Tube ,, You Tube is great for learning about corals don't try to glue it ,,
