Mushroom Corals
Mushroom Corals are also referred to as Mushroom Anemones, Disc Anemones, False Corals, or corallimorphs. They are solitary anemones that are classified in the order Corallimorpharia. These corals share some of the same features of both true anemones and hard corals. These corals are found throughout the world, mainly on rocky reefs.
Mushroom Corals are hardy and make ideal corals for the beginner reef aquarist. Mushroom Corals that have long tentacles are aggressive toward other types of corals, so provide these corals with adequate space. Different genera and species of Mushroom Corals have different light and water flow requirements.
Using a highly-developed mucus capture and transport system, these corals derive nutrients by collecting and ingesting particulate matter suspended in the water around them, and from their zooxanthellae.
