Idk since i got it (like from the pack it self), its already not looking good unlike the other my orange ricordea tentacles are not so bubbly i thought it just needs light but here it is, 1 week later it still not better, it now detach to the rubble i glued it on. I thought posting params are pointless since its a pico reef and i do weekly water changes and my other nem and corals are looking good, but i thought you guys might want to know my lighting, its aqualighter marine nano, its 6.5 watts led made by osram

Seriously, never mind the ricordea, that thing looks terrifying. If I were in a tank with it, I'd be detaching and making a run for it too.

For the ricordea, they don't like to be glued to things. Get some rubble pieces 1 -1.5 in in the bottom of a low jar sitting on the bottom of the tank and put it in there, it will attach itself to one of the pieces, and then you can glue the rubble to the rock instead of the coral.

Sorry to hear about the Ricordea...they are by far one of my favorite corals. On another and more serious note....what in the world is that pictured with the Ricordea?

My bounce mushroom did the exact thing 2 days ago. It looked awful and was shriveled up like that. I put it in a cup of rock rubble and it's already recovered. Low flow low light is key. It should reatch in a few days to a couple weeks

That thing looks like one of those tire spike strips used to stop car chases.

Most mushrooms are pretty darn Rubbermaid. My rics like a little flow, but I would give it 6 weeks to recover.

Don't write him off. Seriously. It may appear randomly elsewhere in the tank in a few weeks or months.

Welcome to the wonderul world of mushrooms. I'd say about a 3rd of all the ones I've bought didn't like where I've placed them (usually the more expensive ones) and detach. Some never to be seen again. Other show up months later growing on a rock somewhere else.

Definitly looks like a crack after I zoomed in. Right from the threads to the back casing.

Edit: sorry wrong thread. Ugh. Its early.
