Red Mushrooms do well in most
lighting conditions, however, I
find that the more the light, the
better. If you place them up
high in your reef tank, they will
multiply quicker. You also get
the benefit of the polyps
multiplying, breaking of, and
floating to the bottom of the reef
tank. The photo on the left is a
perfect example of this. It
consists of 15 Red Mushroom
Anemones that produce
somewhere between 3 to 5
polyps monthly. In the photo
below, you see one of those
polyps that has floated to the
bottom of the aquarium and
attached itself to the live rock.

The Red Mushroom Anemones on
the right is located at the bottom of
my reef tank, in a shaded portion of
the reef. It has been on that piece of
live rock for almost one year and it
has produced the 2 smaller polyps
that you see beneath it. The smaller
Red Mushroom Anemones have
demonstrated poor growth, despite
the fact that all other polyps in the
reef tank have multiplied much
faster. This definitely must be due to
the fact that it receives much less
light than other Red Mushroom
Anemones in the aquarium.

The Red Mushroom Anemone
(actinodiscus sp.) is one of the
easiest corals to care for. This was
one of the first corals that I added to
my Miniature Coral Reefs. It adjusts
to many different lighting conditions
that you normally find in our reef
tanks. Red Mushroom Anemones
are the last corals to show
detrimental effects when things go
bad in the reef tanks. Do give this
coral some space because it will
quickly cover the live rock in your
aquarium.
