I have had my mushrooms for years never have had to feed them is there anything I should be feeding them to help them grow? They have fraged but only once in a blue moon.

I've just started to feed mine ( past week) And they are already starting to look better. I feed mine blended Nori,scallops and prawns every other day when I feed my other corals. I turn my pumps off and target feed with a syringe. Hope that helps.

They will eat anything.

I've never noticed a mouth on my shrooms. Do you feed daytime or nightime?

Thanks!

Rob

Most people have problems with mushrooms growing and spreading too fast. I would think if you feed them you will really exacerbate the problem (I just needed a chance to use that word )

A lot of people don't like Mushrooms I think there great. Mine are all on the floor of my tank on small pieces of LR. I think they look good there.

robbyville, I feed mine in the evening, when I feed the rest of the corals, but way before the lights are turned out.

I am reminded of the red mushroom someone gave me once. I nursed it for a year, and suddenly it virtually exploded, and almost took over the tank. I laboriously scraped as many as I could from my rocks. There were of course bits left that regrew, but at this time they are under control
Mushrooms are funny that way. Tony had a purple mushroom that totally polluted his tank. I have a couple of those thet have not yet given a problem.
