Giant Hairy Mushroom-Rhodactis Indosinensis

[hfleming]

I believe this is a Giant Hairy Mushroom (Rhodactis Indosinensis). If I'm wrong correct me. At first I thought Ricordia but I don't think thats it.

I have had it for 6 months and it seems to be doing great. Before everyone yells at me about gettting something I did not research it came with other livestock as a package deal.

At night if fed it will close up like an anemone. Does not seem to be aggressive.

Anyone have any experience with these guys? Anything I need to look out for other than the the fact it seems to be gettting large. I believe it has maxed out at around 7" diameter.

It's 30" deep under 400w halides. I wondered about getting more color by raising it up but it's too big. In the sand it will stay.

I have one just like it but it's only about 5" or so. Ive had it for over a year now. I don't do anything special with it and it's been healthy and growing.

I have two of them, and they're giant. No special care required.

Mine have never split though. I didnt even know that was possible!
