Genus
Common name: Mushroom Coral
Scientific name: Rhodactis
Rhodactis is a genus of corallimorpharians often referred to as Mushroom Corals due to their distinctive mushroom-like appearance. These soft corals are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their hardiness and ease of care. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, adding a vibrant touch to any reef aquarium. Rhodactis species are known for their ability to reproduce asexually through pedal laceration, making them a rewarding choice for aquarists looking to propagate their own corals. They can thrive in a range of lighting conditions, from moderate to low, and do not require strong water flow, making them suitable for various tank setups.
