75 Gallon Reef Tank - Mushroom Coral - What Makes Them Bounce
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
This is a video on the mushroom coral in my 75 gallon reef tank. Almost all the mushrooms I have put in my saltwater aquarium have started to produce bounce bubbles on them which is great but I'm curious as to how this occurs. Bounce mushrooms are highly sought after and knowing how to get them to do this would be great.

Billy that is really awesome. I have some belts mushrooms and some regular mushrooms but I’ve never seen them morph like that. 👍

It really turned into something special for sure 👍
I think it has something to with light possibly. I thought maybe it was some type of trace element but if your not dosing any then that can't be it. Great video buddy keep them coming 👍

Thanks man. The t5 reefbrite combo might have something to do with it for sure
Mine are doing the same thing right now but it’s only happening In my frag tank. Really interesting stuff . I made some changes in my tank and it started happening about a week or two after. My jawbreakers do it as well.

If I’m not mistaken the reef brite actinic does in fact hit the UV spectrum of 395-400 so yes it could still be the UV portion of blue actinic that makes them bounce. (I think)

I think it will always remain a mystery lol
It’s definitely a question that had as well Billy. I have mushroom that’s showing bounces in my nano that aren’t in my main display. Could it be higher nutrients?

Wow these Shrooms 🤤👊 I had heard the bouncing was from iodine availability then also heard maybe it was excess light.

To my understanding it's the uv or blue LED lights. I have a nuclear sunset mushroom that got bounce stripes but little bubbles like this

Yup, I recently took my actinic bulbs off and 3 weeks later the bubbles went away
Very interesting hope you figure it out let us no the secret to get them to bounce.

I'll keep you posted 👍👍
The reason why the have the bounces is due to overexposure to the light or the light is brightest on them. It’s not a bad thing but it’s not the because the species but it naturally occurs when exposed to light. I personally love the look of them.

That’s a wicked looking shroom man. I’ve got the same one but it’s not bubbly.

Mine took 2 years. Hopefully yours doesn't take as long 😄
Im facing the same thing but im running whites at less than 10% with blue and royal blue at 90% and uv at 7% that creating bounce even on fungia plate corals

The out side petals of my rhodactis mushroom swell up super fat in my tank and looks really, really bouncy. That said, I paid some of them forward to another hobbyists and they have deflated back to normal size. I am not certain as to why this has happened. Maybe lighting?

I've heard they can deflate in another tank, so strange
We had one and it did not grow. I just dose Red Sea Foundation and water changes. All the other coral are growing great.

I’m not sure if you’ve already solved it, but I have seen many articles recently about them being due to the blue light intensity. Makes your shrooms triple in value. Do you have any frags of these?

I hear you can nik them with a razor blade to create bounce as heal spots. Or maybe it's a reaction to some other creature or chemical. All and all if u can transform them in yr tank bro. Make a bunch and make some money. Billy pipes bounce mushroom
