This whole "Bounce" thing annoying anyone else off?

[glweek]

This "Bounce" craze is really starting to rub me. Every mushroom now is a "bounce" just so other people think its cool, or trendy or whatever it is they think it is. Apparently it doesn't even need to have bubbles to be a bounce anymore, or maybe even the possibility of it at some point in its life could form bubbles but were gona call it a bounce anyway. Why? $$$$? status? Both?

Go ahead people let me have it...i can take it.

LOL, What is the problem again?

It doesn't have to have bubbles? Fine then, every one of my Rhodactis are now "bounces" and I will sell for only $1k each hahaha.

It'll be something different in a bit.

 

[hybridazn]

Boy, you shroom guys take these seriously hahaha

But honestly, it's just the hot coral of the moment. It'll die off just like the rainbow chalices did, still awesome to look at but pretty much at this point just about everyone who wants one has one.

I just choose not to care. It makes me laugh more than anything. IMO they look terrible. You couldn't pay me to put one in my tank.

The WWC Bounce is a great coral but every rhodactis that sprouts a small bulge isn't a bounce, especially if the bubbles are the same color as the rest of the shroom. You get one with 3-4+ colors on it let me know! I've had common green discosoma mushrooms that grew bubbles after years under leds, it's not that big a deal and not that uncommon.

At this point I wanna stop being nice at tell the bounce idiots to shove off and stop trying to exploit people who don't know better, but there are a few real bounces. I want the real ones I won't even pay attention to the rest. It is a real shame there are some great normal rhodactis shrooms being called bounces and slapping the word bounce in their names makes them 400-600$ which is lunacy!!! Talk about a fool and his money soon being parted.

Pay me enough and I'll put one in.

As long as this doesn't drive up the price of Ricordea Florida's, I'm fine with it.

I'm as surprised by the sudden value for these corals as I am apathetic. They sure don't look appealing to me.

Many bubble's on corallimorphs are caused by U/V poisoning

Although those bubbles are generally the same base color, so this is not the case in WWC and some others.

 

[joshkirkland83]

Theres almost as many of these threads as there are different bounces.

 

[trickyrich]

I only know of 2 the wwc and the jersy they both been around for 3 years I think their getting popular because there is enough to go around..

 

[Sabellafella]

Dude $600 no offer or trades. Cb iceburg bounce its insane bro

 

[AcroNem]

See those little bumps in the middle? I'm calling them bubbles so it's now a bounce colony! $2k takes it! Haha

 

[ritter6788]

While we're complaning, not all Orange discosomas are jawbreakers either. lol

 

[joshkirkland83]

While we're complaning, not all Orange discosomas are jawbreakers either. lol

For that matter, how about all the "master scolys"??

 

[AcroNem]

Or all the "rainbow anemones" that are really just red with a little green.
