Hello,
I recently got a piece of live rock covered in beautiful mushrooms, I am not sure as I have done some reading on the net about there care but allot is so misleading some sites say they will be fine in bright light others say they won't, I have right now on my 33gal a marine Glo T5ho and power glo t5ho. because of the size of the rock they are on they are closer to the top of the tank there is bit of flow not much, is this lighting to bright from them? and once in my main display tank (125gal) where should I put them? can you take them off the rock and place the somewhere else? or will that hurt them by moving them? I have read that they shouldn't be touching eachother and mine are? One of them is hmmm how do I put it? sagging off the rock or looks like its droopy but I touch it and it like sucked itself back up on the rock to they normally hang and look droopy when the light is off and then once on perk up? sorry for all the question just all the information I have read on different sites on the net say all contradicting things I just don't no what is right and what is wrong. i don't want to loose these guys there so pretty. My water parameters are this 0 nitrites 0 nitrates 0 ammonia. PH 8.6 salinity 1.024 temp. 79-80 degrees. 33gal tank with 35lbs of rock, UV staralizer, aquaclear powerhead, Aquaclear 50 with just carbon, I know that its is a small filter but it has been totally fine and I have never had a problem with my water or fish in 4yrs of having it, until a couple of weeks ago when an ananome decided to release its toxin when it was dying. ANYWAY I just need to know about these little mushrooms and how to keep them happy and thriving in my tank thanks.
