I won the bid on 4 mushrooms from ebay and i dont know much about them so im wondering if ive placed them too close together?
Right now they are all smaller than a small frag plug. Not sure what breeds they are. Or how big they will get. It would be great if anyone is familiar with them.
The names are tequila sunrise bounce , golden nugget bounce, spiderman mushroom, and forest fire mushroom.
I hope ive given them enough room to mature before dropping babies. Here are pictures in my tank and from the listing, thats the only way i could get clear upclose pictures for identification.
Thanks

they will be fine. eventually, as they grow they will find each other and touch. mushrooms are generally ok with touching each other, but with other types of corals you may want to do some research on if they can or cannot touch (before purchasing)

Thanks. Ive got a four foot aquarium with only a few corals so far so i can easily move them if needed. Just hoping to find out about how big the adults might be before they have a chance to grow past the edges of the frag plug.

i’ve only seen posts of mushrooms about 3-4inches, but there are others possibly able to get bigger

Yeah, I just knew to stay away from the yuma mushrooms because they get extremely large. I think i will spread mine apart if they might get 3 to 4 inches. Give them some elbow room. Thanks

They will also move if they aren't happy... So if they don't like being so close, they'll solve it :)
