I got this mushroom in a trade for a couple g5 xr30s along with a couple other bounces.

Guy said it was brought in, in Dallas and only a few people have some babies off it. Personally one of the craziest looking shrooms I’ve seen.

If it's a rhodactis there are quite a few wild collefted morphs that make the rounds in the hobby occasionally that are very brightly colored and of interesting texture but don't grow very fast--thus they don't really end up wide spread or with trade names but can end up available locally. It's a beautiful coral.

Definitely a pincushion, but I’m no expert either lol but I found one thing on Reddit that matches what the guy told me. Guess I got lucky cause he’s had his for 8 years. His has had 8-9 babies and I got lucky and got one of the older ones, already spit a baby out

DO YOU USE A PAR METER WHEN PLACING NEW CORAL IN YOUR TANK?
