This WYSIWYG specimen displays a striking turquoise to blue-green base heavily accented with vivid orange and red-orange raised vesicles. Larger orange projections become especially prominent around the outer margin, while clusters of smaller branching structures create a complex textured pattern across the oral disc. The intense contrast between the cooler blue-green background and brilliant warm orange coloration gives this mushroom its distinctive “Superman” 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 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 adequate room for expansion and future spreading. Maintain stable salinity, temperature, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, nitrate, and phosphate. Rhodactis mushrooms obtain 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":67622707462377,"sku":"F OC0438","price":47.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/superman-rhodactis-mushroom-soft-premium-frag-pea-F-OC0438.jpg?v=1791239435","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/superman-rhodactis-mushroom-premium-pea-f-oc0438","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
