Overview
The Solarflare Bounce Shroom is a stunning orange bounce morph of Rhodactis sp., prized for its inflated vesicles that resemble solar eruptions frozen in form. These glowing orange bubbles provide high contrast against the mushroom’s deep-colored base, offering maximum visual appeal even in lower light tanks.
Slow-growing and highly collectible, this coral is a centerpiece mushroom in any bounce garden or shroom-focused aquascape. Its soft movement and exotic form add depth and texture with a fiery twist.
Care & Feeding
Rhodactis mushrooms are photosynthetic but benefit from occasional target feeding with reef roids, microplankton, or fine meaty blends. Feeding can enhance vesicle size and coloration over time.
Place in low flow areas to avoid bounce vesicle damage and promote healthy expansion. This coral prefers low to moderate light; intense lighting may cause retraction or fading.
Optimal Parameters
-
Alkalinity (dKH): 8–11
-
Calcium (Ca): 400–450 ppm
-
Magnesium (Mg): 1300–1400 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO₃): 2–10 ppm
-
Phosphate (PO₄): 0.01–0.05 ppm
Placement
Secure to rock rubble or frag tiles in shaded or indirectly lit areas of the reef. Avoid aggressive neighbors, though this coral rarely stings. It prefers low disturbance zones and will slowly spread or split over time.
