Will this eat my fish?

[FlickaSA]

I have a rhodactis mushroom (according to those who know more than me). I don’t think it’s an elephant ear that habitually attracts and eats fish (amplexidiscus fenestratus) as it is pretty lumpy and does t look like it has that bare ring.

Buts it’s pretty large and has a mouth and is growing bigger….

So would it eat my fish?

I think your safe

It would not be a concern of mine. The Coralmorph is not large enough. My clowns resided in larger Coralmorphs without issue. I believe there are incidents of large Coralmorphs consuming sleeping fish but I think it's a rarity.

How big can it get before my fish are in danger? I’ve got some anthias who like to hide behind it and a lawnmower blenny who likes to sit on it.

As large as your hand. I doubt healthy Anthias are in any danger. A healthy fish perched on that size of Rhodactis would not concern me.
Rhodactis can reproduce quickly and become invasive. To prevent future worries just remove the Coralmorphs from the system.

Thanks. It’s about 6cm across fully extended. So about as big as my hand.

I’m aware of their invasive potential, but thanks for the heads up on that one.
