Hello,
I’ve had a few mushrooms over the past year. They seemed to do well. My bounce rhodactis grew from about the size of a quarter inflated to the size of the palm of my hand. It split into five more at once after moving it to the new tank.
It’s been that way for months. Things looking great.
Anyhow, yesterday I noticed the bounce wasn’t inflated and looked quite ticked. At the base, it looked as if decomposing food was sitting near the base - you know - that fuzzy white stuff that appears.
I’ve had trouble with the finicky yumas, but the rhodactis have not ever experienced issue.
I feel like one of my rock anemones that was repositioning itself may have crossed paths with this mushroom; I know it crossed paths with my favorite cynarina and it is not looking to hot.
Are there creatures that consume corallimorphs?
Ah, I left this guy on his plug while seeing how it would do. Since he seems happy I was going to finally glue him down to something larger in that immediate area. If he couldn’t grow off the plug it was on, would they do this?
ticked (yesterday and today)
Typical (new tank post five way split)
Old tank (inflated to palm sized pre split)
