kknight Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 When the lights came on this morning my green mushroom has this feathery thing (scary), there is also a few small ones. Anyone know if this is okay ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 What part of the shroom is it coming from? Is it coming out of the mouth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kknight Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 What part of the shroom is it coming from? Is it coming out of the mouth? It's coming from the rim of the shroom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 It seems to be sloughing but I thought that only happened in leather coral species. Is this a mushroom or Sarcophyton Sp.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kknight Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 It seems to be sloughing but I thought that only happened in leather coral species. Is this a mushroom or Sarcophyton Sp.? Not sure. When I bought it at westside, Lilly said it was a neon green mushroom. It has never done this before. If it is sloughing it that ok ?

Kimberlee Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 If that's what it's doing should be fine. I believe sloughing is just a cleaning proses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Yeah looks like green toadstool leather, ive heard of this before just put a little extra flow towards it and itll help clean off the whole thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHash-fish20 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 It's probably just it's molt, they can do this. Just put more flow on it and it should be fine. Super hearty coral IMO/E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanktop74 Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I too think its a toad stool and not a mushroom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberlee Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I too think its a toad stool and not a mushroom! Looks just like the toad stool Donna has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVPaquatics Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 +18 on toadstool lol. Sloughage is somewhat of a normal thing, however I did notice mine did that once when salt creep dropped down on it, and also when battling a neighbor coral. Can be an indicator of irritation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveHash-fish20 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I too think its a toad stool and not a mushroom! I'm pretty sure toadstools are mushrooms, Correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kknight Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Good! Its a sweet coral' date=' ive always wanted one with blue tips/polyps, or even one thatd my clowns would host[/quote'] Mine does not have blue tips. Just a bad cell pic with the coral just opening with the light coming on. But blue would be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbird Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I'm pretty sure toadstools are mushrooms, Correct me if I'm wrong. Nope toadstools are a leather coral. Similar shape though Mine does not have blue tips. Just a bad cell pic with the coral just opening with the light coming on. But blue would be cool Very cool, I didn't know you had a toadie. Funny I have looked in that tank many times and I still have not seen it all, you have got to love the reef tanks. Just so much going on.

kknight Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 I am so bad with names . Lily most likely said toadstool, and I forgot and renamed it a mushroom (whistle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
