Thanks for website n info.

BTW, it mentioned "They are semi-aggressive and require adequate space between themselves and other corals". Seems that they r rather clamp on that rock, aren't they? So, would they move over to other rocks?

Cheers!

You will need to place these mushies under low to moderaTE flow area. They grow very fast.

Under strong lightings, the color will enhance slightly further. They look healthy to me. Just take a look at their 'mouths' in the centre of each mushroom. When stressed, the will 'open' their mouth. 'Spitting' of brown substances will NormallY mean the mushie a goner.

don't worry about their spacing. Once they get too cramped on their rock, soem of 'em will take a trip onto other surfaces, even gravel itself.

I have a rock of cheap brown mushroom that have been with me for almost 2 years, started to melt early last week and was all gone after I come back from my oversea holiday. rest of the coral more or less ok.

Wonder what will cause mushroom to stress up and melt away...... This rock of mushroom has been hardy and gone through all the "hardship" while I learn to improve my tank. Just don't understand why they died when I thought my tank has more or less "mature".
