hard to get a possitive ID from the blury pic... but i would say its green ricordia

. 15 bucks i would say is about norm for a decent size ric at an lfs. Although i just scored a couple of mine for 4.99 off thise site

 

[arsen_36]

it's a bit more spikey than a ricordia :notsure: . geez if i only knew how to describe it

Bonebrake's are called frillys, yours is a hairy.

 

[fedukeford]

i thought frillys and hairys were the same thing??

 

[promisetbg]

Hairy mushrooms have tan tentacles...frilly's have green.

If they look like this they are green hairy mushrooms. My favorite mushroom next to the striped ones.

Common names and scientific names are different.

Mine opened up the next day. And that cluster was just "one" single mushroom and they covered that rock in a year. I don't feed anything extra either only what falls when I feed the fish.
