It doesn’t even look like a mushroom anymore… it has been one of the easiest critters I’ve kept in this tank. All other corals are opening up and doing their thing. This guy is just bugging out… :
Ideas?
As always, mush respect to the one with the knowledge… lol

It’s eating.
A hairy mushroom has a mouth much like ananemone, it
If food is unlucky enough to fall on to the body of the mushroom it will close up around it and swallow it. I used to be able to feed mmine small pieces of silversides.
That’s crazy. Never seen it do that. It’s already growing like a weed… Might be frag time … I just looked over and he’s opening back up. Thanks Cdangel0!
On a side note:
I love marine critters!
I suppose you’ve never seen pictures of a mushroom similar to yours with a fish tail hanging out of it? I believe Wittenrech took one like that with a cardinal like that, but I could be wrong.
I’ve not seen that photo! Wow, I’m kinda amazed, it seems so floppy and benevolent. That means absolutely nothing in nature, I know.
It was the first thing I saw this morning though… I was confounded within 15 minutes of waking up. lol
The question is…WHAT did it eat? ::
My mind didn’t even go there John, lmao. Too bad it wasn’t that clown goby that keeps messing up my acros!
Thanks for the posts guys.
