  Description
Assorted Mushrooms - Actinodiscus species
Also known as: Disc Anemones, Flower Corals, Mushroom Anemones
Type of coral: Soft / Polyp
Diet/Feeding: They may accept meaty bits, phytoplankton and microplankton. They are mostly photosynthetic. They are able to absorb nitrate from the water as a food source. 
Behavior: The Actinodiscus species is generally semi-aggressive toward other tankmates.
Care: Many consider the Actinodiscus species a low-maintenance specimen. Not venomous.
Lighting: Has low lighting needs and should be placed low in a tank with strong lighting. Symbiotic algae zooxanthellae are hosted within this organism.
Water flow: The Assorted Mushrooms require low water flow.
General notes: Assorted Mushrooms can have a pink-ish/purple-ish tint to them. Much of their coloring depends on the lighting they come from and the lighting to which you accustom them to. The less light you give them, the more they will extend, which will result in them being a lighter color. Fragments can be taken to be separately grown. Allow room to expand. Mushroom corals are either the hardiest group of cnidarians or close runners-up. They can be easily maintained in "standard" or reef-type marine aquaria, are hardy, undemanding, very good choices for beginning to advanced hobbyists. All they ask for is iodine supplementation without too much light or strong current.
Water parameters: Keep water quality high (SG 1.023 - 1.025, pH 8.1 - 8.4, Temp. 72 - 78° F).
Specifications: Due to variations in growth of Corals from variations in depth, environment, flow, etc. it is impossible to pinpoint exact sizes. These sizes are very approximate and will not apply in all situations. If you have any questions regarding size please contact your MarineDepotLive.com Customer Service Technician. SMALL is generally around 3 - 4 polyps on a rock smaller than a baseball, MEDIUM is generally 4 - 6 polyps on a rock smaller than a softball and LARGE is generally 6 - 10 polyps on a rock larger than a softball.

Note: Due to variations among each species, livestock may not look identical to the image provided. Expect diversity since each animal is unique in color, texture and shape.
