General info about Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus

n general, mushroom corals coming from the genus Actinodiscus are classified as a false coral without a skeleton, although their internal structures are the same with stony corals. Their stalk is very small that is located just above the pedal disc which is the area where they attach themselves to the substrate.

As for the Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus, they are predominantly colored green with violet margin. This are the water parameters for cultivating Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus: 

  • Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
  • Alkalinity: 2.86 - 4.29 MEQ/L (8 - 12 dKH)
  • Phosphates: 0
  • Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
  • Strontium: 8 - 10
  • Temperature: 72° - 78° F (22° - 26° C)
  • Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
  • pH: 8.1 - 8.4

Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus Diet & Nutrition

In the wild, Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus has developed a symbiotic feeding relationship with marine algae called zooxanthellae that is living within their tissues. But in captivity, you have to feed them with nanoplankton and you may add dissolved organics in the water.

Fragging / Propagating Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus

A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus. They must be set at the botoom of the tank to simulate their natural wild environment.

Flow / Lighting Requirements for Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus

The Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus requires moderate lighting and moderate waterflow.

Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus Origin

The Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean.

Caution Should be Taken with Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus

The Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus has a semi-aggressive behaviour. Proper spacing must be observed in relation to other coral species in the tank. 

How to Acclimate Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus

The Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus is a marine species. Therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.

Stinging Tentacles on Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus

The Green Fluorescent Mushroom Actinodiscus has long sweeper tentacles that can sting nearby corals.
