Frag swap score - rhodactis?

[caudill187]

I picked this up at our state frag swap on Sunday and wanted to share it. I am relatively inexperienced in keeping mushrooms but was told it is a rhodactis? I am excited about this one and can't seem to take my eyes off of it for too long. Do you experienced mushroom keepers think it will eat mysis shrimp when it gets settled it? Thanks.

Oops. I think I put this one in the wrong forum section. Maybe mods can help?

I am pretty sure it is a rhodactis.

In my experience they will feed, if no fish or anything interfere with them. But also in my experience they multiply slow..

Very nice looking rhodactis! Looks like this is a another reason why I should have went.

Thanks Kelby. Yeah there were a couple of new faces and a few nice pieces. We were hoping to see you but I'm sure you were busy with some important things. The good news is there will be another one soon.

That is what I have heard. I would have been there if I did not have final exams this week...

I am going to try to make it to the next one though.

They are very nice. I have about 6 or 7 of them. They are a little slow at growing which can be a good thing with mushrooms. I don't directly feed mine so not really sure what they eat.

Cool. Nothing more helpful than direct experience :) Point well taken about growth and mushrooms.

That mushroom definitely is sweet.

i got that same style (orange and teal) - bought it brown and put it mid-level of tank and morphed to orange/teal...it grew off the plug onto the rock and the plug fell away which caused it to stretch and i wound up with two rhodactis :D mine loves it at mid level, grows pretty big. and keeps that orange/teal color. one of my fav corals now!
