new St. Thomas mushroom tank addition

[organism]

I came across this one and was just like "shut up and take my money", it's even nicer in person since the one side is so bright it washes out the rest of the colors

 

[shred5]

Thats a nice one,nice colors.

 

[oldreefer76]

Wow that is gorgeous

 

[Norse]

Wow, awesome!

I bet it is a great eater... look at its mouth!

 

[joshky]

I want a clone! Haha, great score.

 

[Rustyprop]

Wow! Any place online sell anything like that? I love the colors!

So far it's ignored feeding, but I think it's still a bit stressed from shipping.

As long as you avoid the unethical scammy vendors who throw the word "bounce" in front of them as an excuse to gouge people for $3-400 then you can find them for pretty fair prices when they pop up from the few honest vendors left in this hobby.

haha, is this the one I saw on PEA's site?

Very cool. I love the bubbles on it. Excuse my noob question but this is a ricordia, right? Furthermore I know 'bounce shroom' is passe but this is what people are referring to with that term?

No they're one of the aforementioned "bounce" vendors...

The species is a Rhodactis sanctithomae so it's more like a hairy mushroom than ricordia. The "bounce" mushrooms are a different species of Ricordia that imo don't look as good but for some reason sell for $3-500, but vendors are using "bounce" to refer to any mushrooms with bubbles right now in order to take advantage of people.

Nice St Thomas; highly underrated species. Never seen that color. I picked up a lime green/granny apple with white tips recently. It's nice seeing these new colors pop up.

I've seen two st. thomas pop up at my LFS and they were both dull, I wish it were easy to find nice ones because they are one of my favorite 'shrooms.

 

[HPark]

That's a looker -- good find!

 

[larcomak11]

Beautiful! Gotta love me some shrooms!

 

[BayouCorals]

Great score. I bought one from aquaSd on a live sale a few months ago on another forum. Your picture looks better. This is my favorite shroom under actinics.

 

[7hogwarts]

Great looking St. Thomas! I have loads of shrooms and for some reason I can't keep a St Thomas alive for anything more than a few months.

 

[GrindingNemo]

Amazing color! I am slowly rebuilding my St Thomas collection, but it has been difficult due to the abundance of scamy vendors such as the one you were talking about. Is there any chance you could say who you got that from? ie who is a good vendor.
thanks

 

[Whiterabbitrage]

Absolutely beautiful. Where do you have it placed and what kind of lighting?

 

[rogersb]

I'm not a mushroom guy, but that is one nice looking shroom!

Yeah it looks awesome under actinics, one of the coolest things I've ever seen come out of the ocean

So far it's on the sand bed in low light doing pretty well, it's gotten even more pink which looks great.

I got it in a trade, they pop up at fair prices online from time to time though.
