One of the pieces is a green hairy mushroom rhodactis, which I'm in love with. The other is definitely a blue mushroom, I'm not sure of the specific name. Can someone shed some light here if you can?

Also, the hairy mushroom frag we got was already attached to a small rock, which we glued to the live rock. We had some difficulty and only got it to stick on a small spot, so it's kind of loose. Will the hairy mushroom attach to the live rock by itself as it grows? Does rhodactis just uproot itself and move around with the current? I'm just worried about it falling off if a shrimp or crab walks on it or hitting my hydnophora.

The best way to get the mushroom mounted is to place it in a container with lr rubble in with it. You can't glue them to lr, they won't stay glued.
