Ive cut thru plenty of OG bounce but i noticed that the ones that split themselves are much hardier during swings.ohh snap, didn't even know thats the way to do it. Yeah cutting through the mouth is kinda scary, thats why I didn't attempt.

Ok lots names for and some to not to.just hope my lfs know the names like this,imo if you selling something then you should know the appropiate name.but if they do or not is different matter.As others have mentioned Ricordea florida, but also Ricordea yuma. Rhodactis inchoata, R. sanctithomae, Discosoma neglecta, and D. carlgreni are all some slower growing species, all of them can be quite pretty. I would stay away from R. indosinensis, R. Rhodostoma, D. striata, D. ferrugata, and D. coerulea (basically red, blue, and striped Discosomas and the ‘hairy’ Rhodactis).
Just look up pictures to get an idea of what the different types look like, maybe save some on your phone to take to the LFS. You can also look into rock flower and maxi mini anemones, they are mushroom like and are not invasive.Ok lots names for and some to not to.just hope my lfs know the names like this,imo if you selling something then you should know the appropiate name.but if they do or not is different matter.
Thanks for all suggestions and thankyou all for the suggestions,it's much appreciated,I do like the look of florida ricordea and ricordea yuma
I have snagged a cpl or a few from 1 or 2 now that have been with me close to 3 yrs and never dropped a baby on there own. Trick is finding a spot that foot may be stretching- enough away from stem to cut cleanly from crease of foot without taking a piece of stem. Some shrooms take forever to grow and reproduce. Especially wild caught.mine is the size of my palm and still has not split once for me. Tempted to get the razor blade.
At base of stem you should find pieces of foot either separating and growing away from stem or plain out stretching which its already in process of naturally making a new baby. Sometimes you have to manipulate them and make them walk to get more light to get the foot to stretch away from stem. Just have to play with it a little.how to differentiate foot from stem? i am guessing cutting only the foot and no part of stem guts will be spared?
Just going off what others say when say invasive and grow to fast but I would guess takes at least a few weeks for 1 to grow to a size.Invasive mushrooms?
That would take years.
whenever a few get to much, I just pop them off and resell.
Get what you like
That's good idea indeed,thanksJust look up pictures to get an idea of what the different types look like, maybe save some on your phone to take to the LFS. You can also look into rock flower and maxi mini anemones, they are mushroom like and are not invasive.
Ok great thanks for reply.IME Discosoma floats the most and ricordea grows more slowly... They are all easy to knock off flat surfaces and rehome/tape to a frag plug but the ones in crevices can be kalked like aiptasia. I wouldn't panic about mushrooms spreading as it is manageable if you stay on top of it. Most softies are similar and they won't land on top of other corals. If it really is a concern go with ricordea or rhodactis.
Weeks?Just going off what others say when say invasive and grow to fast but I would guess takes at least a few weeks for 1 to grow to a size.
What I don't like idea of is if a coral detaches from the rock and lands on another coral and kills it pffft
Not actually sure as never had any myself.just going by seeing threads and mentioning of " invasive" and wish never added to tank as continually trying their best to remove them and if detach and land on a coral then they often kill it.
