This specimen displays a pale blue-green to turquoise base densely covered with brilliant orange-red pseudotentacles, producing the striking contrasting coloration reflected in the “Superman” name. The oral disc is heavily textured, with longer marginal tentacles and raised central structures adding dimension to the mushroom’s appearance. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRhodactis\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e species contain symbiotic photosynthetic dinoflagellates that supply much of their nutritional energy, while they can also capture suspended plankton and small particulate foods.

Excessive direct flow can prevent the mushroom from fully expanding or cause it to detach from its substrate. Place the coral on secure rockwork where it can expand without rubbing against neighboring corals. Maintain stable temperature and salinity, with measurable and reasonably stable nitrate and phosphate levels. Rhodactis mushrooms obtain much of their energy through photosynthesis but can also benefit from occasional appropriately sized planktonic or finely chopped marine foods. These mushrooms may gradually expand or reproduce across nearby rock surfaces, so allow room for colony growth. Avoid placing delicate neighboring corals directly against the expanded mushroom tissue.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67802022478057,"sku":"F OC2779","price":53.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/superman-rhodactis-mushrooms-premium-frags-pea-F-oc2779.jpg?v=1793228938","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/superman-rhodactis-mushrooms-pea-f-oc2779","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
