While I have had many Bounce mushrooms over the years including OG, Godspawn, Sunkist, SR Crazy, Dragon Lady, and Neptune, my favorite is the Watermelon Sherbert Bounce.

Mine is a little hidden in the tank:

I love the iridescent pinkish bounces with the greenish skin and contrasting orange little dots.

I don't see this too much in the hobby anymore...I wonder why?

I'm just surprised that this bounce wasn't more popular.
I believe to me it looks like It's a variation of a interstellar bounce shroom.

They are very pretty shrooms and have many morphs.

Some come with the bubbles and little specs in all sorts of colors.

They can change color with different light spectrums as well.

This is most common variation.

Yours is much prettier haha

Based on Google image searching, I don't think the Interstellar Bounce is related...

Sorry about that, how about this...it is a discosoma variation. It really looks like they are in the same family of discosoma as the interstellar. Has all the same characteristics.

You have a very pretty one.

What I was saying is the interstellar is a variation that is in the disco family and can have the same characteristics as the shroom you posted.

Very nice find!

CB Bubble Yum Bounce and Watermelon Sherbert Bounce are the only images that match...I bought mine from a fellow reefer as Watermelon Sherbert Bounce.

I guess not too much love for this bounce.
I don’t see how that could be!!! This is definitely one of the coolest ive seen fosho!! I moved from pa to socal and then from socal to stlouis mo and I’ve been reefing throughout all of it and honestly I don’t recall ever seeing one of these for sale at a shop / swap / or online . I’ve been keeping tanks for a long time now so my guess is this is just a rare piece to come across . Congrats on the find I’d say this is a keeper
