Why?
1. They look really strange and unnatural to me. We force them to bounce(at least according to many reefers, who introduce them to warmer spectrum or heavy blue lighting), and it's something that's rather uncommon in the wild. The colors are so outrageous and the vesicles are overly shaped like popcorn. They make me feel like im in a candy shop rather than looking into a reef tank.
2. They are extremely overpriced and the same corals without bounce are quite cheap. They are a fad, and so before long we'll be assigning them ridiculous designer names and selling them at more exorbitant prices. Sellers of these often market them under predatory scarcity marketing ploys. I can't wait for them to release the WWC OG Super purple bio-hazard butt hole bounce.
3. Because they are trendy, prices are super expensive, not always because how they look. In a fully stocked, 6 foot long reef tank most people won't notice these little guys. The insane pricing I feel, creates a bad precedent for pricing future coral out of the average reefer's price range. But if you wanna spend triple digit on a mushroom and have the money, power to you my friend.
In conclusion, bounce mushrooms suck and I am probably being stubborn and salty towards them for no real rational reasons, who knows.
Happy reefing!
