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.

    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 👍

    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)

    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.

    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’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?
