Notes: Although Bullseye Mushrooms in general are rather common these purple beauties are not easy to come by. Bullseye Mushrooms will grow and reproduce by fission in the aquarium when provided with the proper environment.
Place mushrooms along the bottom half of the aquarium on an exposed rock. Make sure that low currents will be able to supply it with necessary nutrients and trace elements. Leave several inches between it and other corals.
Although symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae hosted within its body supply the majority of its nutritional requirements through photosynthesis it does require supplemental feeding. Supplementing its diet with the addition of trace elements, marine snow, phytoplankton, brine shrimp, and food for filter feeders will help to insure its continued good health.
Mushrooms are shipped as several individual mushrooms attached to one rock.
