Carpet Mushroom (Rhodactis)

This Carpet Mushroom is a large, folded colony covered in dense, bubbly neon green tubercles. The texture is thick and plush, with the polyp surface forming ruffled ridges and rolls across the whole piece. Small pockets of electric blue show through between the folds, where the mouths and oral discs peek out, giving a striking contrast against the green.

A piece like this adds a bold block of color and texture to the lower or middle part of a reef, and it looks great as a centerpiece on its own rock or spread over the rockwork. Carpet mushrooms do well in low to moderate light and gentle to moderate flow, and they are generally hardy and forgiving, so they suit newer reefers as well as experienced keepers. Give it room, since it can slowly grow and spread. You will receive the exact piece shown in the photo.
