It generally grows larger and has shorter tentacles than other mushroom corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lavender Mushroom is easy to maintain in the reef aquarium, and a good choice for the beginner hobbyist. It is somewhat aggressive, however, and can harm sessile invertebrates and overgrow other inhabitants of the reef. It requires a low to medium light level combined with a medium water movement within the aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt may reproduce in the home aquarium provided that water conditions are adequate, sometimes causing over-population. A small portion of the base or mouth will separate from the parent polyp and grow into a full sized mushroom within a few months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe symbiotic algae zooxanthellae hosted within its body provide some of its nutritional requirements, but it also eats plankton and some larger organisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt ships as several individual mushrooms attached to one rock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LiveAquaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49836540002547,"sku":"0702261883","price":129.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9497\/1635\/files\/02A7883.jpg?v=1783352374","url":"https:\/\/www.liveaquaria.com\/products\/lavender-mushroom-coral-3-5-wysiwyg","provider":"LiveAquaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
