new red shrooms

I just picked these up at the LFS, some of the brightest I've ever seen. Any tips or comments are appreciated.

I have some that look exactly like that. I bought 3 on a rock from a LFS. I have been using Lugols Solution, Coral Accel, Coral Vite, Essential Elements, Liquid Reactor. All my corals do great and those 3 shrooms have since spawned 3 more red shrooms just as bright.

No, mine don't have the specs, yours are really cool. How do you make your pic show up in the thread instead of a link? Thanks!

Mine were $57, not a great deal, but the LFS was due for a purchase from me. If I hadn't gotten them I think I would regret it.

Indo super red mushrooms....very sweet indeed!

Other than the awesome color, they are different than other red Dicosoma sp. mushrooms in that they have more distinct and numerous bumps that cover the surface:



I have a nice green morph that I got from Tonga that I still have to photograph.

Here's mine, I paid $25 at the LFS store. They didn't look great when I got them though. When you look at them head on the bumps look white, but from thr side they look purple?
