Care
Hairy mushrooms are close to bulletproof and thrive in the lower, shadier parts of a tank. Too much light or flow makes them shrink and detach. Once settled they will split and spread on their own.
Acclimation
Float the sealed bag for 15 minutes to equalise temperature, then drip acclimate for 30–45 minutes before placing. Start the coral low in the tank and move it up over a week or two if it wants more light. A freshwater or iodine dip before it goes in is cheap insurance against hitchhikers.
Photographed under blue/actinic aquarium lighting, which is how most reef tanks are viewed. Colours will look different under white light.
