Cant remember the name of the larger mushroom on the bottom left but it was trying to climb up my ricordia rock and that ricordia on the edge did not like it at all so I’ve separated them.

I thought mushrooms generally coexisted? Can’t remember the name of that aggressor though.

Side question. Do rodactis need a lot of light? Mine aren’t doing well at all whereas everything else (zoa, euphyllia, ricordia, etc are doing well). Sorry for the blue light it was a quick pic.

When good mushrooms go bad. I usually separate my rhodactis from my ricordea (each species co-exists just fine but I haven't tried mingling the two - I suspect that wouldn't go over that well). I have most of my rhodactis around the 100-125 PAR range and my ricordea are in the 75-100 PAR range. I've had them at higher PAR and they still thrived, but I think they prefer medium light.
