Introducing the giant mushroom

arizonagrace · 02-22-2009, 04:14 PM

Here is a pic of my one tank with the mushrooms in my first saltwater. The largest is the size of a dinner plate. I got these as 3 on a rock. The largest when I bought them was the size of a pill bottle top. There are now a total of 5 of them (1 is in hiding). Flo and Mo (clowns) seem to love these and have been hosting them for over a month now.

huuuge..i wonder how much they shrink with the lights off

They shrink into a 2 inch ball during lights out. It is surprising how small they can get! I like to watch them open in the morning when I turn on the lights. They look like a small balloon

I was worried about the smallest one because the others were hogging the space, but it seems to have found a way to push his way up. I will probably have to move that one to its own space soon.

Awesome shrooms man!

Look like green hairy shrooms.
If they are, I have some and they are great! Drop babies at the drop of a hat.
Never complain and thrive.

Excellent!

Re: Introducing the giant mushroom Great mushrooms __________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Live Rock Rubble will do the SAME thing as Bio-Balls and is NOT a suitable replacement for BIO-BALLS in a Reef System! It's ALL gotta go!!* Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change. Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian) This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.
