I moved my jawbreaker this week and this is the state it’s in. It was nickel size with some red and purple when fully opened. I had to remove it from it hair algae covered rocks, hoping it makes it. Folks have any suggests for removing mushrooms from rocks?

Thats going to be tough if you have lots of hiding spaces. What is the shrimps response to foods? Our skunk shrimp would float to the top and be with the fish for food. Best way I’ve found to bait them. Love the color on your discos!

@BighohoReef may be able to add a little here. I do believe those in numbers will easily overtake in territory naturally.
You may want to get your lone ranger to it's own spot before its overtaken.
Some shrooms split and multiply fast.
Ricordea have been my easiest shroom. Cut them they are healed and good with first cpl weeks. They eat e everyday if I feed them without fail. Very hardy species.
I agree overtime any coral that needs even low light will need its own space. The more I learn about mushrooms the more I realize they need to be isolated on there own structures. Though I’m still trying to get a definitive answer as to whether discos can live with each other and grow together without overtaking. Keep folks posted on the findings.

I'm finding my JawBreakers to be a little on the finicky side. They dont like salinity swings and took a little longer to acclimate. Hoping I find the sweet spot soon with these guys.

He’s usually around the sand bed, catches whatever floats around. He does pretty well

Wow those look amazing! you have some other mushrooms in the back I see. Been on the hunt for a magic carpet! What camera/filters did you use for your shots?

So close to your torches!!! Which also are amazing btw. If you have more mushrooms would love to see them, even the not so rare ones. Thank you for sharing!
Pics with iPhone 11pro standard camera app and poylplab filter occasionally.

Had a large CB fire until said torch got knocked over by a turbo snail... now about a half dollar and starting to grow some color back.

Couple more... Infinity Gauntlet, Maui Waui (or reverse Maui Waui, can’t recall) and Electus

Could be a Sunkist or hybrid Sunkist? Can any second that? Shoot @LRT I hoped you were gonna be the second. Lol
Idk but you could be right I've see them grow different from system to system. This one has purple mouth and other color bouncing bubbles.
I have the Cb orange (Top above the afterburner and gonzo dragon)

And the original Sunkist

Was told these where actually the same at one point?
Hard to say man wish we could get exact lineage on things.
