Overview

The Ultra Rhodactis Mushroom is renowned for its striking, often iridescent coloration, ranging from deep metallic greens to rich reds and purples, frequently with contrasting highlights that glow under blue LED lighting. These corals exhibit a fleshy, lobed, and sometimes textured surface, expanding broadly to form stunning mat-like colonies. Generally peaceful, they bring a bold visual presence and unique texture to your underwater landscape, making them a true showstopper.

Care Level

Considered easy to moderate in care, the Ultra Rhodactis Mushroom is an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists. These hardy soft corals are generally peaceful and compatible with a wide array of other marine life, thriving in stable reef tank conditions with moderate water flow.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 100 litres is recommended to provide ample space for growth. Maintain stable water parameters with a pH range of 8.1-8.4 and a temperature of 24-28°C. They prefer moderate to low lighting to truly showcase their vibrant hues.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, the Ultra Rhodactis Mushroom derives most nutrients from its symbiotic zooxanthellae. Occasional spot feeding with small meaty foods like zooplankton, phytoplankton, or amino acids will enhance their growth and coloration.
