Blue Mushrooms Actinodiscus species This fish in stock on our sister site:
Blue Mushrooms can have a "pinkish", purple-ish tint to them. Much of their deep blue color depends on the lighting they come from and the lighting to which you accoustom them to. The more light you give them, the closer they will stay to the rock and the bluer they will be. Fragments can be taken to be separately grown. Allow room to expand. Mushroom corals are either the hardiest group of cnidarians or close runners-up. They can be easily maintained in "standard" or reef-type marine aquaria, are hardy, undemanding, very good choices for beginning to advanced hobbyists. All they ask for is iodine supplementation without too much light or strong current.
