This WYSIWYG specimen displays a striking blue to turquoise base with vivid fluorescent orange, red, lavender, purple, green, and pale mint accents scattered across the disc. Larger orange and red vesicle clusters contrast sharply against cooler blue-green tissue, while lavender and purple branching structures add additional depth and texture. The central mouth area is pale lavender to bluish in tone and surrounded by bright green highlights. The wide mix of saturated warm and cool colors gives this specimen the distinctive “Over the Rainbow” appearance. \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, while they can also capture 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 adequate room 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 when introducing the coral 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":67624544600297,"sku":"F OC0410","price":95.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/over-the-rainbow-rhodactis-mushroom-premium-frag-pea-F-OC0410.jpg?v=1791301012","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/over-the-rainbow-rhodactis-mushroom-premium-pea-f-oc0410","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
