Neon Bicolor Rhodactis Mushroom Coral
Rhodactis mushrooms have a slightly warty, textured surface that sets them apart from the smoother Discosoma types, and under magnification those bumps are actually tentacle-like projections rather than decoration. This one splits its disc into two distinct color zones, holding the line between them cleanly instead of blending, which is part of why bicolor Rhodactis tend to command more attention than solid-color mushrooms. Low-maintenance and quick to bud off new heads once it's settled in.
Care level: Easy · Light/Flow/Placement: Low-moderate light, low flow, bottom of tank · Max size: 2-4" disc, colonizes over time · Diet: Photosynthetic, occasional fine feeding
