Question Regarding Mushrooms

ckmullin · #1 02-23-2013, 05:09 AM

I was given a small frag aprox 1.5x1.5cm and over the course of a day it split in 3 parts. Ever since these 3 pieces have been motoring around I assume looking for a nice cozy spot. It just kinda reminds me of some horror movie as these 3 pieces of flesh move all about! lol

My question is how much do mushrooms crawl around in a tank?

Mushrooms dont usually crawl, are they simply floating around the tank
because there not attachd to a rock or do you have a small anemone that
has split?
Got a pic?

I got it free floating not attached and after a week or so boom 3x now! lol I'll see if it'll cooperate in a short timelapse vid or get pics tonight. It's not an anemone, I'm sure of that at least.

It's a florescent light green, being smooth on the surface and just a mass of tissue.

You could attach them to a piece of rock with a rubber band, just dont make
the loop too tight.

I've tried the elastic band method a few times they always split around it and float off. Bes bet is to put them in a clear tupperware bin with some small holes for circulation then cover it with some screen or mesh for a week or so.

Yah, what i've done when I saw it split. Have in a little cup covered with screen that still allows some water flow. I threw in some pieces of shell so they might find a home and attach themselves.
