it's not an elephant ear and it isn't a fish eater, I've tried to feed it all sorts of different foods, it doesn't eat anything. I think it's rhodactis mussoides, according to the Reef Aquarium volume 2, from Delbeek and Sprung.

type elephant ear mushroom into your browser and see if a picture of that mushroom does'nt show up with a warning about them being able to eat small fish

ok i checked rhodactis mussoides and the same mushroom turned up.i i guess rhodactis mussoides is the type of elephant ear it is cause theres many kinds.

If that is an elephant ear, someone was tripping when they saw the elephant it's named after

I have three elephant ear mushrooms that look nothing like that. I don't know if that is a correct I.D.
