They don't really need fed as they get their energy from lighting. How big is this one? Is it in your tank? It looks pretty small so keep it very low flow if possible to keep it from getting blown around.
It could drop babies in a few months.
If it is yours take good care of it! Right now that particular color morph is fetching high dollars... Upwards of $1000 for the right buyer.
I'm kinda curious how you came across this guy without knowing what it is. [emoji2]
Thanxs for the tips ! It is small I dont know exactly how small. I live in greece and i buy this guy from a shop in germany. I Just waiting the corals. i will receive them in 3-4 hours.
I pay about the half of the money u said.
The seller has a jawbreaker tag on it and i ask for info here because i was not sure if this guy is a eclectus or a jawbreaker.
This is my first 'rare' 'expensive' kind of mushroom and i Want to be sure that i give this guy the care that he deserve!
So they dont need anything 'special' to thrive and keep their colors right?
The jawbreaker/eclectus debate is a hot topic, but seems like they sell for similar prices so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Nothing special as far as feeding goes, my only suggestion is being as small as it is (which isn't a bad thing) you may want to rig up a small container with some substrate in it to place in your tank.
A small cup or Tupperware container with a mesh top and rubberband will make a safe home for it until it attaches to some rock. Unless it comes to you on a plug or larger piece of rock, but the picture looks like it's on small rubble which means it might not be attached to anything. If you just dropped it in the tank that way it will likely blow around and get lost or makes its way into a power head.
Also. Don't be surprised if it's shriveled up REALLY small from shipping! It'll expand as it gets comfortable in your tank after a few hours likely.
Good luck! Nice score.
