Purple Mushroom Polyp
Purple Mushroom is a hardy coral choice that will thrive in most aquarium conditions. 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 aggressive 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. This mushroom is sold per polyp, meaning that if a quantity of one is ordered, a single purple mushroom polyp will be sent out either attached to a small piece of rock or possibly not attached to rock. If more than one is ordered, what will be shipped will either be one small piece of rock with the appropriate number of polyps on it, or a combination of pieces to equal the ordered quantity of mushrooms.
