Giant Cup Mushroom

Giant Cup Mushroom, Amplexidiscus fenestrafer, is a hardy coral choice that will thrive in most aquarium conditions. Also known as the Giant Disc Anemone, it requires only a moderate water flow and a moderate amount of lighting, making them ideal for placement at most any level of the aquarium. However, if lighting levels are high, placement should be in the lower levels. Because the Actinodiscus species is aggresive in its encroachment, specimens should be kept an adequate distance from other corals. Although micro-plankton and brine shrimp will supplement the diet of the Actinodiscus species, naturally-occuring zooxanthellae and microalgae will provide much of its diet. This species is a great choice for aquarists of all experience levels.
