Killer shrooms go way beyond bounce and jawbreakers | Reef Builders | The Reef and Saltwater Aquarium Blog

There’s no doubt about it, shrooms and corallimorphs are the hottest corals in the aquarium hobby right now. But every time a new group of corals gets targeted for hotness, it entrains with it a whole…

This was an awesome article. Ive always scouted out my lfs. Especially lately as some are starting to catch the shroom bug. I got alot of mine off the not for sale rack or right out of display. I make an offer they can't refuse haha. But yeah one of my lfs already knows and they try and hide the good ones on me but I always sniff them out. I got this yuma sitting under og godzilla with superman blueish purpledy cap thats for sure a stunner and starting to act like its going to do some good things.
 
Same lfs has full rocks of alot of the named bounces right now for 75 or less;) Just after those gems for now haha

Blah Blah Blah Shrooms?:D
Since ive throw the lid on tank ive turned up my led a bit more. 5%blues 3% whites. Really need to get seneye anchored and put lid on to see where im at. So far so good though they are all acting like they needed it!

Oh yeah. Today is Mystery Wrasse day:D Have a Juvy coming. Reef gods willing he arrives safely and acclimated well to my system. Super stoked about this fish. Tbh id fill this tank with wrasse if I could:D

Wakey wakey lol. So things are moving right along here. Getting ready to do the ends of lagoon up with some sand for wrasse and critters. All my rock in back is sitting on racks that im going to need here real fast. Pretty much all these shrooms are dropping babies now. The babies are dropping babies.. Idk if its the new tank or whats happening but ill take it. Which leads me to another thing I need to tighten up and build a few shroom boxes that can house the babies and keep from floating away. Truth be told during my WaveMaker mishap I probably lost enough shrooms to pay for this entire upgrade plus the monster tank im looking at for wife lol. Not to mention the mini colony of JB my wife found on bottom of tub under the rack during the move.. Those all floated as well..
Anyhow I have a bunch of material leftover from tank cover build I may as well put it to good use:D

Man idk but I think im going keep it super simple and make one out of left over netting from lid. Worth a try and see what kind of nasties love it. Can always use 1/4 acrylic i have left over as well. Like the idea of netting though I can cut babies out of it fairly easy if need be.
 
Yeah man Mystery Wrasse has landed. Was swimming in bag when unpacked. Acclimated then straight to tank and went straight to work on pods and has fat stomach haha. This little guy is gonna be epic I spooked him but try and get a good pic
 
Just a little guy at about an inch maybe a little more:D Hes smaller than my big clown and just a tiny bit bigger than my little clown haha.
Def got my Dr Suess fish lol

Caught all 4 fish hanging out:)
Man I can't get over how big this little guys stomach is already. He can gorge himself for days on this reef and not even make a dent.

Wakey wakey lol let me know when your tired of looking at wyze cam spam. Sorry not sorry haha.
Anyhow glad I got this wrasse and timing couldn't have been more perfect. Actually a little overdue as amphipod population got out of control again and started eating wifes favorite rfa skirt.. Dunno what it is but they have taken a liking to that particular rfa. Perfectly healthy rfa for the last year since the last time they decided it was tasty. Pods got out of control and all over everything in broad daylight. Wrasse is getting them inline.
Also. Day by day all my shrooms are reacting positively to getting back on brs schedule. I have raised my blues to 40%, whites 20% reds and greens still at 3%. I do have clouding in still. That hasn't changed. All my JB have perked up. Been worried about my green Jb. She has finally re attached and opening up again in shroom condo. Little piece of her foot stuck to disc below rubble. I will be taking it in cpl weeks once she's fully back to normal. Must build shrooms condos. All my Jb are laying out nicely now and probably about to start busting off babies again. We don't like flushing money down toilet around here haha.
