Share Your WWC Bounce Pictures and Information!

KLR · Nov 17, 2012

I have not seen many of these or heard much about them after WWC sold a few during their most recent live sale. These mushrooms are truly unique and aptly named.

If you own one or multiple please post pictures of yours and any tips you have on its care!

I currently have one polyp and in my experience with it, the lower flow it is in, the more it expands and the bubbles on it inflate. Mine is glued to a rock that sits on my sandbed under 4 ATI Blue Plus, 1 ATI Aquablue Special, and 1 Fiji Purple T5 Bulbs.

Here is a picture of mine under T5's

I wish more people had these. I first saw these a few months ago and reall want to see one in person. About how big do these shrooms get?

These wart looking shrooms are welcome in my reef tank anyday. what a weird coral. are those bumps poison sacks or something? why would it just grow neon bumps?? lol.

they get big overtime! We have a bounce in our 300 display! Actually its our second bounce shroom, the first one was plucked by a purple tang and never to be found!!

Awesome looking shroom! When they are for sale, who are the vendors that usually have them?

from what I have seen it is usually really hard to find. I have a baby and man is it soooo cool. it is growing pretty fast for me also

I'm curious if the one Travis was selling is the same as the wwc shroom.

Fatmike92 · Mar 7, 2013

Me too. That's who I got mine from and it looks exactly the same

The one in WWCs display tank was about 5-6" when they fragged it last month. I've had mine for about 4 months and its gone from the size of a nickel to 2" dia.

This is my 4 month old frag. These thing seem to produced more bubbles in brighter light.

Oops, turn your monitor upside down for optimal viewing. Not sure why the pick flipped.

After putting a little thought into it, I would say "wwc" is World Wide Corals. Im glad folks could point us in the right direction.

I bought mine from rnegret on ebay, but I know he's sold out right now. Maybe he will frag that beauty in his DT.
