Under aquarium lighting the flourescents of the Neon Green Hairy Mushroom is a site to see. It grows very densely, often covering the rock completely. These mushrooms will grow and reproduce by fission in the aquarium when provided with the proper environment. A perfect soft coral for low to mid section of the reef aquarium. It is a very easy to maintain coral, and a good choice for the beginner. Placement All mushrooms are semi-aggressive and require adequate space between themselves and other corals. Placement can be any where in the aquarium as long as it receives adequate water flow and lighting levels and leaves enough room around your corals that they have room for growth without infringing on another corals growing room or lighting. The Neon Green Hairy Mushroom is pretty easy going. No matter what level of light you have. Low light, moderate light, or high intensity light, it is no problem for this guy. It will adjust to any lighting just by changing its location in the tank. Lighting can be Power compacts, T5's, LED's or even Metal Halides. All lighting can grow Mushroom Corals as long as the proper level of light is provided. If a Par meter is available the appropriate lighting level is anywhere from a Par 80 all the way to a Par 150. As far as water movement, they prefer low water velocity, but will do okay in a moderate flow as well. Mushroom corals receive the majority of their nutritional requirements through the process of photosynthesis, which simply means their lighting creates symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae in the body of the coral which provides its nutrition. We do recommend providing supplemental food such as micro-plankton or foods designed for filter-feeding invertebrates.
