Rhodactis Mushroom

representative

WWC OG Bounce Mushroom →

The original blue-green-based Rhodactis covered in large orange-red inflated vesicles ("bounces"). The gold-standard bounce that started the craze and still commands among the highest prices in the hobby.

Tip: Place low in the tank on the sandbed or a low rock under low-to-moderate light (PAR ~75-150) with gentle flow; too much light or harsh flow shrinks and flattens the vesicles. Target-feed small meaty foods about once a week.

WWC Sunkist Bounce Mushroom →

A blue-green-based Rhodactis similar to the OG Bounce but with smaller, fully bright-orange bubbles giving a citrus 'sunkist' look. One of the most recognizable named bounces.

Tip: Keep under low-to-moderate light (PAR ~50-120) on the lower third of the tank with gentle flow so the orange vesicles stay inflated and saturated. A slightly nutrient-rich tank helps the bubbles develop.

WWC King Julius Bounce Mushroom →

A premium WWC bounce with a colorful base and dense raised vesicles; mother colonies have grown to several inches across. Named in the WWC 'King Julius' line.

Tip: Give it a stable low-flow, lower-light spot (PAR under ~100); mature colonies will slowly carpet a low rock, so leave room around it. Weekly target feeding speeds growth.

representative

WWC Biohazard Bounce Mushroom →

A toxic-green and orange/blue bounce with a striking high-contrast 'hazard' color split across its inflated vesicles. One of the older, well-known bounce varieties.

Tip: Low light and low-to-moderate flow keep the neon-green coloration from washing out; place on the sandbed or a low ledge.

representative

TSA Mardi Gras Bounce Mushroom →

A festive multicolor bounce mixing purple, green, and orange tones across a colorful base in a 'Mardi Gras' palette.

Tip: Low-to-medium flow and low-to-moderate light on the sandbed or a low rock keeps the multicolor coloration bright and the vesicles inflated.

representative

TSA Bozos Revenge Bounce Mushroom →

A clownish, high-contrast Rhodactis bounce with vivid warm vesicles, named 'Bozos Revenge' for its loud coloration. Considered a grail-grade piece.

Tip: Keep it low and lightly shaded with gentle flow; raise light slowly only if color holds.

representative

Powerball Bounce Mushroom →

A top-grade bounce with large primary vesicles surrounded by smaller ones in a fusion of neon green, molten orange, and deep blue tones.

Tip: Low-to-moderate light (PAR ~70-120) and gentle flow on a stable low rock; large vesicles deflate quickly under strong, direct flow.

representative

CA Orange Crush Bounce Mushroom →

A bright, fully orange-vesicled Rhodactis bounce with a clean 'orange crush' soda coloration over a contrasting base.

Tip: Low-to-moderate light keeps the orange saturated; place low with gentle flow.

representative

Frankenstein Bounce Mushroom →

A blue-based bounce with teal/green frilly tentacles and chunky, flesh-pink outer vesicles giving a 'stitched-together' Frankenstein look; a companion 'Bride of Frankenstein' morph also exists.

Tip: Low light, low flow, low placement; let the heavy vesicles inflate undisturbed.

representative

Neptune Bounce Mushroom →

A powdery blue-and-teal base with puffy, sand-colored bubbles. Notable because it is a Discosoma-type bounce rather than the typical Rhodactis, making it stand out among bounces.

Tip: Low light and low-to-moderate flow keep the pastel blue base from bleaching; place on the sandbed or a low rock.

representative

Lava Bounce Mushroom →

A red-orange 'lava' colored Rhodactis bounce with molten-looking vesicles over a darker base.

Tip: Low-to-moderate light and gentle flow on a low rock keeps the warm lava tones rich.

representative

Mellow Yellow Bounce Mushroom →

A soft yellow-vesicled Rhodactis bounce with a mellow, pastel-yellow palette across the bubbles.

Tip: Low light and low flow; yellow bounces can wash out fast under bright light, so keep it shaded and low.

representative

Brass Monkey Bounce Mushroom →

A metallic gold-to-brassy toned Rhodactis bounce with warm, coppery vesicles.

Tip: Low-to-moderate light and low flow on a lower rock to keep the metallic tones from fading.

representative

Superman Bounce Mushroom →

A blue-based Rhodactis with bright red-orange highlights giving the classic blue-and-red 'Superman' contrast; sold both as a bullseye-type and as bouncing specimens.

Tip: Low-to-medium light and low flow; the blue base holds best when not over-lit.

representative

Red Bullseye Rhodactis Mushroom →

The classic non-bounce form of Rhodactis inchoata: a deep red disc with a contrasting central mouth ('bullseye') and short pseudotentacles. The wild base type from which bounces can emerge.

Tip: Low-to-moderate light and low flow on the sandbed or a low rock; under blue-heavy light it can develop enlarged pseudotentacles.

representative

Green Bullseye Rhodactis Mushroom →

A green-disc form of Rhodactis inchoata with a contrasting bullseye center and short pseudotentacles; often fluoresces under actinic light.

Tip: Low-to-moderate light and gentle flow; blue-spectrum light brings out the green fluorescence.

representative

Purple Camo Bullseye Rhodactis Mushroom →

A Rhodactis inchoata bullseye with a mottled purple/maroon/blue/green 'camo' patterning across the disc, more colorful than the plain wild types.

Tip: Low-to-moderate light and low flow; keep it on a lower rock so the purple mottling stays saturated.

representative

JF Raunchy Red Bounce Mushroom →

A blue base topped with raised red frills and red bubbles, with outer tentacles that flash orange, yellow, or red depending on lighting. A bold red-dominant bounce.

Tip: Low-to-moderate light (PAR ~80-150) and low-to-moderate flow; keep it out of the highest-light zones to preserve the red frills.

representative

JF Orange Swirl Mushroom →

A Rhodactis with swirling orange and contrasting tones across the disc, named for its marbled 'swirl' pattern rather than classic round bounces.

Tip: Medium light and medium flow per the vendor listing; a mid-to-low rock placement keeps the swirl pattern vivid.

representative

JF Mayhem Mushroom →

A chaotic, multicolor Rhodactis with a busy mix of warm and cool tones across the disc, named 'Mayhem' for its disorderly coloration.

Tip: Medium light and low flow per the vendor listing, on a lower rock; let it acclimate before moving it.

representative

JF Minecraft Mushroom →

A Rhodactis (cited as R. indosinensis) with a blocky, pixelated color pattern that inspired the 'Minecraft' name; it 'bounces' by growing longer, branchier vesicles into a lightning-bolt shape rather than round bubbles.

Tip: Low-to-moderate light and gentle flow; because it elongates rather than forms round bubbles, give it open low space to spread.

representative

Cornbred Forest Fire Orange Bounce Mushroom →

A fiery orange Rhodactis bounce with red-orange vesicles evoking a 'forest fire,' carrying Cornbred Corals' naming. Noted for holding its bubbles even under stronger light.

Tip: Low-to-moderate light and low flow; the warm coloration intensifies under blue-heavy light without being blasted.

representative

Godzilla Bounce Mushroom →

A prized Rhodactis bounce morph with a green base studded with raised, bubble-like vesicles that glow bold orange, giving the inflated bounced texture collectors chase.

Tip: Place low-to-mid on the rockwork under moderate PAR (~75-120) with gentle, indirect flow so the vesicles inflate rather than getting blasted flat.
