Representative Rhodactis Mushroomphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
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.
📜 Backstory
World Wide Corals (WWC) is credited with popularizing the OG Bounce and sells it fully farmed in-house at worldwidecorals.com. Single polyps have historically sold for hundreds to thousands of dollars and the line has held its value for over a decade. How a normal Rhodactis develops the bounce vesicles is still debated in the hobby, which adds to its mystique and price; the exact wild origin of the founding stock is not documented.
Keeper tips for this variant
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.
