Description
The St. Thomas – Red (4 Lot) collection features vibrant red St. Thomas mushroom corals with unique warty textures and hints of green that make them a standout addition to reef aquariums. These corals, originating from the Caribbean, are prized for their intense red coloration and ease of care, making them popular among both novice and experienced aquarists. Under actinic lighting, these mushrooms glow beautifully, enhancing their appeal.
Known for their semi-aggressive temperament, St. Thomas Mushrooms should be given space away from other corals, as they can release mild toxins when in competition for space. These mushrooms are reef-compatible and thrive in a variety of tank setups, adapting well to moderate light and low to moderate water flow.
As carnivores, they benefit from occasional feeding of small meaty foods, such as mysis shrimp or other finely chopped marine foods, which supports their growth and health. With proper care and stable water conditions, these mushrooms are hardy, resilient, and can even propagate within the aquarium over time, adding both color and texture to the tank.
