Keeping them on a separate rock or pieces will probably be your best bet for keeping them under control. I bought 1 several months ago and still have 1 despite my Ironman, Superman, blue, Rhodactis, and a few other discosoma shrooms dropping plenty of babies. I don’t know if it’s my water or what but I can’t seem to get more of them!I'm considering a neon green hairy mushroom for my new mushroom tank. Are they too prolific? Will they spread too fast and cause issues for the other mushrooms?

Bottom of the tank, low flow. Same as my other mushies. Under AI Prime HD on a pretty intense lighting cycle but the other shrooms do great and this one is always very open and happy looking, just refuses to drop babies. It has gotten much bigger since I got it though!That's interesting. I have some other cool mushrooms and would hate to have them stifled. Where did you place it in your tank? Lighting? Flow? Thanks.
I have a few in my tank, I love them. They don't grow quickly. I'd say, like with most mushrooms, isolate them to a rock you can remove. I've seen too many people trying to get rid of some common mushrooms because they spread everywhere. Sidenote, mushrooms tend to be difficult to eliminate once established, in case you didn't know that already.
Just place them on some rubble. This way you can remove them as needed and they’re already on the perfect frag plug to be resold so you don’t have to deal with getting loose shrooms to attach. I love this method and use it often with my shrooms and xeniaThe whole tank is mushrooms and nems with no isolated rocks. So I'm all in if I go for it. Maybe I'll wait on this one so my other mushrooms don't get out-competed for space. Thanks.
Mine are in medium flow and about 6” below the water line. Mostly under blues. I only run my white lights for 2 1/2 hrs a day. It’s a small tank ( Evo 13.5 ) with a Hyper Reef 30w suspended 8” above the waterline. Lights start to ramp up at 5:00am and ramp down at 8:00pmHow much light and flow are you all keeping yours in?
Are they playing nice with your other mushrooms?They spread.

What is the name of this one?This one split within a month of getting it. They are some of my favorite corals in my tank. I bought 2 on frag plugs at the same time. The other hasn’t split yet but they both have gotten huge.
Not sure Elaine. I got them at The Aquatic Critter about a month or so ago. They had them in one of the main coral tanks just listed as “Hairy Mushroom”What is the name of this one?
Yes, but not with a favia I had to move.Are they playing nice with your other mushrooms?
