Ricordia mushroom question

[JoeyzReef]

I am new to growing corals and know very little about keeping them. I don’t know how Ricordia grow or split and what not. Do you guys know what this mushroom is doing? Is this normal?

Very normal and happy. They'll move around a bit, grow new mouths, split off and expand over time (free mushrooms!)

I was just wondering because the white spot wasn’t there before. It’s right next to the mouth. Looks like it part of the mushroom as well

Could be another "mouth" to feed, lol. I wouldn't worry about it - ricordea are fairly resilient.

I would be just delighted if that happened

I just had a grenadine ricordea move off a frag plug and it left behind another "mouth" to feed. Free ricordea!

I don't know what the "name" it may have been sold as, but it appears to be a rhodactis mushroom. These can grow to develop "bounce" parts like this.

My coral guy has orange bounce and I want one but this guy bought like 30 frags from him.
