Here are some of mine. I just got 2 really neat ones yesterday I'll get pics of later today.

unknown mushroom, its very hard and bendy! it has turned a darker orange and green since I bought it. Only seen 2 others all during the same time period at different stores. Any idea? Absolutley not like any rhodactis i've ever seen.


Love this one, camera doesn't capture all the colors right though. really looks like a sunset under MHs, not so much under the PCs its under now. Hopefully once i get my T5s it will look like that again.

I don't have any good pics of my neon red ones but heres a bad one!

SDguy, did not know you've got some nice shroom collection too. Do they spread fast like the purple ones? (I got a couple of purple ones from gcantu a few months back and they just took off. I must have at least 10 now. Good thing, I used a large oyster shell to attach them, so they are isolated from the rest of the rocks).BTW, how is your turquoise polyp stag doing? Mine is starting to shoot a lot of branches at the tip. Still very small polyp extension in the daytime but long at night. Must be a nocturnal.
I friend gave me a single purple mushroom. Split into 4 already and the one original was just stretching and leaning all over my other corals. I sold the rock a week ago. Too prolific for my taste.

These fancy colored ones don't seem to reproduce very quickly at all, which is a shame since they are the ones people want frags of most.

The ORA turquoise stag is doing well...awesome color. It's been moved a few times, so hasn't really been growing too quickly. I've noticed the same thing as you...no polyp extension during the day. Very strange. Just bright turquoise bumps where the polyps should be. Here's a pic...it's the one on the right side. Sorry all for the thread hijack

Wow! I love looking at all of the different shrooms. I'm definitely going to have to get some Florida rics

Melev, that looks like agiant rhodactis. Is that one piece or multiple. I like the purple color as well. The greens on the side are also rhodactis?

Those are many in one area. I don't count them, but I'd imagine there are 7 on the main area, two below and two the left. The clown has been hosting in them for years.

I saw some of those same exact shrooms for sale in a LFS in my area for 35$. He had a few rocks with 3-7 polyps on a peice. I did not bring any money with me because i went there to trade for salt. I plan to go back and pick them up so im not saying which store they were in!

Here is my new baby, just got him at the LFS yesterday:



My camera isn't too good...he's actually redder than that, and the stripes almost glow under my 14K lights.

Two bigguns (3"+) and 4 babies for $30.... most of the mushroom rocks, even the ugly ones, are $45-$60 at my LFS, so I think I got a bargain!

Nice lancer. I got mine for $10. I bought the rock because of the green discosoma and I saw a little hitch hiker...turned out to be a beauty. You can see a little of the green discosoma in the last pic, just above the rhodactis. It's gotten so huge!

Whisperer,

Shaddup! You don't want a stalker, who will hunt you down, and force you to frag your R. indosinensis (and I don't see the Disco)

Then again, I might re-direct my stalkerish tendencies towards amushun's Neon Greens

No need to stalk me lancer99, mixed reefer apparently found some like mine. I know where he lives Besides, my pitbulls won't let you near the tank.

I would like to limit distribution of these beauts until I see a similar one on the market. I'm waiting for Dr. Mac to make me an offer for a frag. (j/k)

I know, the disco is the faint green on the top of the rhodactis (actually, behind the colony).

I agree, amashun's sancti thomae appear to be glowing. Really awsum specimen he has.

Finally, a couple of my rhodactis migrated to the plug I placed under the rock
Here is a before pic,


after migration (I moved the plug away and was surprised to see a couple in it). This is a night time shot with flash. Will take pics tomorrow under normal lighting.
