Introducing the stunning Purple Hairy Mushroom coral, a captivating and hardy addition that brings unique texture and colour to any marine aquarium.

Overview

The *Rhodactis indosinensis*, commonly known as the Purple Hairy Mushroom coral, is a striking corallimorph characterized by its numerous, hair-like tentacles that cover its surface, giving it a distinctive fuzzy appearance. Available in captivating shades of purple, often with contrasting tentacle colours, this species adds a unique visual element to your reef. They are known for their resilience and can grow quite rapidly, so ensure they have ample space to expand laterally. While generally peaceful, they can be semi-aggressive towards other corals if they come into contact.

Care Level

Easy. The Purple Hairy Mushroom coral is a robust species, making it an excellent choice for beginner reef keepers. Its hardiness means it can tolerate minor fluctuations in water parameters, though stable conditions are always best.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 75 litres (approx. 20 gallons) is recommended. Provide moderate, indirect water flow and medium to high lighting. Maintain stable water parameters with a temperature range of 24-26°C (75-79°F) and a pH of 8.1-8.4.

Diet

This coral is photosynthetic, deriving much of its energy from symbiotic zooxanthellae. It also benefits from supplemental feeding of small planktonic foods or finely chopped meaty items.
