Ricordia Mushroom question

[JeffDubya]

Sooooo... I bought a green ricordia mushroom rock the other day. It sure looks nice, plus there is some sponge on it, and what lookes to be a bivalve tunicate, maybe a cousin to a sea squirt on the rock.

My question is this... I see some brown stringy stuff coming from the mouths of two of the mushrooms. Should I be concerned, or is this quite normal?

its normal....i think.....it happens to my shrooms occasionally. but in the other hand if its coming from the whole shroom that means it dieing. HTH

Nope, it was just on two of them. I haven't checked yet this morning to see if there are others affected. But it was just a single string coming from the mouth area, nowhere else.

That is how they expell their waste so if its just coming out of the mouth I would say your fine. Ricordias are great corals for a nano and some of them are quite hardy, this is especially true of the ricordia floridas.

the ricordia floridas are on my eventual wish list.
