General info about Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom
In general, mushroom corals coming from the genus Rhodactis are classified as a false coral without a skeleton, although their internal structures are the same with stony corals. Their stalk is very small that is located just above the pedal disc which is the area where they attach themselves to the substrate.
This are the water parameters for cultivating Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom:
- Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
- Alkalinity: 2.86 - 4.29 MEQ/L (8 - 12 dKH)
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
- Strontium: 8 - 10
- Temperature: 72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)
- Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
- pH: 8.1 - 8.4
Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom Diet & Nutrition
In the wild, Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom has developed a symbiotic feeding relationship with marine algae called zooxanthellae that is living within their tissues. But in captivity, you have to feed them with nanoplankton and you may add dissolved organics in the water.
Fragging / Propagating Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom
A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom. They must be set at the botoom of the tank to simulate their natural wild environment.
Flow / Lighting Requirements for Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom
The Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.
Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom Origin
The Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.
Caution Should be Taken with Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom
The Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom has a semi-aggressive behaviour. Proper spacing must be observed in relation to other coral species in the tank.
How to Acclimate Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom
The Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom is a marine species. Therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
Stinging Tentacles on Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom
The Dayglo Rhodactis Mushroom has long sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.
