Mushroom Ident Please

[Nikon_Guy]

This mushroom is unlike any other I have both in color and texture. In searching sites I have not seen one that resembles it. Anyone have an idea as to identity and place of origin?

Thanks.

looks like to be some form of rhodactis -do you have any more pics of it, like a whole body shot?

This is a full body shot from about two months ago.

I have seen these for sale on the internet. They are usually referred to as a Discosoma species. There is a flourescent green type also.

Is this the green you are refering to?
Awesome shroom you have there Nikon_Guy.

Nice color Nikon !!

Like the fuzzier green one too, but the red is a great color for a tank highlight.

Thanks Allie, that one is more maroon with a steel grey undertone. Here is a picture of one of my reds that really stand out.

HOLY SHROOMS!!! UHHH..... Uhh...... I can't hardly think~

That has got to be the most spetacular color I have ever seen. I can't believe that there are ones out there that look like that.

Thank you so much for posting that pic. It is truely an amazing pic.

Best I can do right now is a full tank shot. This is WYSIWYG under 250w MH 14k's with 50/50 pc's. The first shroom posted in thread is on the bottom under the yellow tang. The bright red one is under the anemone.

Nice variety you have in the tank. The previous pic was color enhanced?
