This WYSIWYG coral displays an exceptional mixture of fluorescent green tissue with vivid orange, red, magenta, and lavender-purple vesicles scattered across the disc. Bright orange-tipped structures become especially prominent toward the margins, while irregular patches of contrasting colors create the dramatic multicolor “Rainbow Cauldron” 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, although they are also capable of capturing small suspended and meaty foods.

Avoid strong direct flow, which can prevent 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":67617980973289,"sku":"F OC0401","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/rainbow-cauldron-rhodactis-mushroom-soft-premium-frag-pea-F-OC0419.jpg?v=1791154343","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/rainbow-cauldron-rhodactis-mushroom-premium-pea-f-oc0419","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
