This is on a piece of rock in my FOWLR tank, it looks like there are some smaller ones on the back too. It soft and smooshy.

Kind of hard to tell from the pic but it could be a mushroom Corallimorph sp. coral.

I was thinking the same thing....so +2

Well, since it's in a tank with very little light, should I move the rock and try to grow these babies or let them waste away?

 

[meowzer]

what kind of light do you have? I'd try to save them if I could

My FOWLR tank has a T5 fixture with one 18w 10000k light (12gallon tank) that may need to be replaced (hey it was free), but I could move it to my nanocube with 72w 50/50 PC lighting (24 gallon)

Maybe someone who knows more about this will chime in, but I do not think mushrooms need a heck of a lot of light...

I would move them to see if they will come back. You can then move them to your horse tank.

I moved it this morning it opened big and you could see the tiniest amount of green on it. It definitely looked like a mushroom today. I hope it makes it. How long until the color comes back if it's going too? I'm curious as to what it may look like in the end.
