Description
The St. Thomas Mushroom Asst (4 Lot) is a visually captivating collection of mushroom corals known for their vibrant colors and distinctive texture. These mushrooms, native to the Caribbean, exhibit a wide range of color variations, including hues of green, blue, red, and purple, making them a standout choice for reef aquariums. Their unique warty texture and fluorescent colors make them particularly appealing under actinic lighting.
St. Thomas Mushrooms are generally easy to care for, making them suitable for beginner to advanced aquarists. They are semi-aggressive and should be given ample space to avoid contact with other corals, as they can release mild toxins when competing for space. These mushrooms are reef-compatible and can thrive in a variety of tank setups, often adapting to moderate light and low to moderate water flow.
As carnivores, St. Thomas Mushrooms benefit from occasional feedings of small meaty foods, such as mysis shrimp or other finely chopped marine foods. With proper care and stable water conditions, these mushrooms will grow and even reproduce in the aquarium, adding both color and biodiversity to the reef environment.
