Although mushrooms are pretty hardy corals I'd say it's a toss up ... maybe, maybe not.

Just a small tip, don't post topics like that, even just for fun.
Depending on the ammonia spike during your cycle, the mushroom may or may not survive.

+1 about not posting threads with that title for fun.

 

[bigarn]

come on people, give the poster a break! I've seen this done plenty of times ... he's just trying to get an answer.

Are you sure it is a mushroom? Any chance it is a majano anemone?
As for the primary question: "5 tangs in a 10 gallon"
Yes they will fit. First you need to let them dry out so they are thinner. When you add them to the tank they will re-hydrate.

 

[bigarn]

that's not a mojano.

although I understand your concept behind the title it doesnt make it right what would you like it changed to??
as far as will it survive like bigarn said its a toss up. try to keep the ammonia as low as possible and still continue the cycle to give it the best possible chance.

Deffinately not a manjanoe anemone.

I got some rics on a rock during my cycle of my 65 and they ended up multiplying throughout the cycle lol
