This WYSIWYG specimen displays a striking turquoise to blue-green base covered with vivid orange and golden-orange raised vesicles. The center is predominantly fluorescent green with finer orange accents, while larger elongated orange-tipped structures become more prominent toward the outer margin. The irregular, folded surface and contrasting raised vesicles create the distinctive “krinkled” appearance reflected in its name. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRhodactis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e mushrooms contain symbiotic zooxanthellae that provide much of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis, but they are also capable of capturing small suspended and meaty foods.

Avoid strong direct flow, which can interfere with full expansion or potentially cause the mushroom to detach from its substrate. Place on stable lower to mid-level rockwork with sufficient space for expansion and future spreading. Maintain stable salinity, temperature, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, and phosphate. Rhodactis mushrooms receive much of their nutrition through photosynthesis but may benefit from occasional small meaty or planktonic foods. Acclimate gradually to stronger lighting and avoid abrupt changes in aquarium conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67620997234921,"sku":"F OC0425","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/orange-krinkles-rhodactis-mushroom-soft-premium-frag-pea-F-OC0425.jpg?v=1791214745","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/orange-krinkles-rhodactis-mushroom-premium-pea-f-oc0425","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
