Hi,
I saw a really nice blue spotted mushroom at my lfs and was wondering if their care is the same as any mushroom coral? Does that also ring true for any mushrooms or are some varieties more difficult?

For the most part they’re pretty similar. Low flow and some nutrients in the water. They do vary on preferred light levels though.

I would lump most together with the exception of Yuma’s. Those can be downright tough, especially with lighting.

All mushrooms but yumas are pretty much the same care. Also I heard that bounce mushrooms get bigger bubbles under brighter light
