Mushrooms/Coral Question with Pictures
Hello,
Back on November 20th I bought some mushrooms and polyps and they still haven’t spread whatsoever. I’m not sure exactly what kind they are, but I have pictures… If someone could identify them, that would be awesome. It’s my understanding that they’re supposed to spread at a pretty fast rate and sprout up in various parts of your tank relatively quickly. Am I wrong about this? It’s been nearly two months and they’re still just stuck to the little piece of rock they came on and I’m kind of disappointed because I spent $80 thinking they’d grow. Am I being impatient or should they have grown by now? Can I do anything to make them grow throughout the tank?
My tank parameters are great. No problems at all.
Below is a list of my equipment and tank inhabitants:
46 gallon bowfront. Emperor 280 filter. Coralife Super Skimmer for up to 65 gallons. Two Maxi-Jet 1200's with Hydor Flo water deflectors. About 50-70 lbs. of live rock. Current USA 36" Power Compacts w/ 1 - Dual Daylight Lamp (10,000K and 6,700K) and 1 - Dual Actinic Lamp (420nm and 460nm).
Scarlet Hermit Crabs, turbo snails, nassarius snails
Royal Gramma Basslet
Blue Devil damselfish
Four Stripe Damselfish
Red spotted Hawkfish
Bicolor Blenny
Coral Banded Shrimp
Serpent Starfish
Percula Clownfish
Any tips are much appreciated!
