The Sunkist Bounce Mushroom is a vibrant collector mushroom featuring an intense orange base with contrasting green and yellow coloration. Its inflated, bubble-like vesicles create the signature “bounce” appearance that makes these mushrooms highly sought after by reef enthusiasts.

This aquacultured WYSIWYG specimen is beginner-friendly and grows well under lower lighting with gentle to moderate water movement. As it settles into a stable reef aquarium, it may expand and reproduce to form additional mushrooms.

FEEDING

The Sunkist Bounce Mushroom receives much of its nutrition through photosynthesis. Occasional target feeding with finely chopped meaty foods or a quality coral food may support growth and coloration.

PLACEMENT NOTES

Begin in a lower-light area and allow the coral time to acclimate. Avoid placing it directly beneath intense lighting or in strong, direct flow. Leave space between the mushroom and neighboring corals because it may expand beyond its resting size.
