Mushroom Corals are also referred to as Mushroom Anemones and
Disc Anemones. Mushroom Corals come in various shades and colors.
They are a wonderful invertebrate for bottom placement in a reef aquarium.
Over time they will reproduce, forming a carpet covering the rockwork
and sand. They are hardy and easy to maintain. In general, they need
a medium light level, and should be placed lower in the tank if the
light intensity is high. These corals require a low to moderate
indirect water flow. Too much water movement will keep most mushrooms
from fully expanding.

The mushroom coral receives most of its nutritional requirements through
symbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) hosted within its body, which provide
the majority of the coral's nutritional needs through photosynthesis.
It also feeds on other nutrients and particulate matter and can benefit
from additional food in the form of micro-plankton.
