Ancient Moss Bounce Rhodactis Mushroom

Ancient Moss Bounce Rhodactis Mushroom is a textured Rhodactis mushroom with a layered blend of moss green, lavender, muted rose, and pale inflated bounce vesicles. Its uneven surface combines fine tentacle-like texture with larger rounded bubbles, giving the coral an established, almost weathered appearance. The photographed specimen shows the mature character this strain can develop under New Dawn Aquaculture’s growing conditions. Vesicle size, expansion, and colour balance can vary from frag to frag and will respond to aquarium spectrum, nutrient conditions, placement, and time in the system. Why Reef Keepers Choose It Unusual moss and lavender colour with soft contrasting highlights A mix of fine surface texture and larger inflated bounce vesicles Strong visual character for a dedicated mushroom garden Adaptable to lower-energy reef zones once securely attached Care Guidance Begin Ancient Moss Bounce Rhodactis in low to moderate lighting. A lower rock ledge is a good starting location, with intensity increased gradually only after the mushroom is consistently open. Moving a newly introduced specimen directly into strong light can lead to contraction, fading, or detachment. Use low to moderate indirect flow. The mushroom should sway gently without having its disc folded or its foot pulled from the surface. Strong, direct flow often prevents full expansion and may cause a newly placed specimen to release and move. Give it a textured rock or isolated mushroom tile where it can settle with minimal disturbance. Leave space around the coral for expansion and future growth. Rhodactis mushrooms can spread when comfortable and may irritate neighbouring corals through direct contact. They are photosynthetic and do not require frequent target feeding, but a well-settled specimen may accept an occasional small meaty particle. Avoid placing large food directly on the disc.
