Make a bold statement in your aquarium with the rich, sophisticated tones of the Ron Burgundy Pin Cushion Mushroom! This high-end Rhodactis coral is heavily sought after for its unique "furry" visual texture.

Why It Deserves a Spot in Your Tank:
- Deep Velvet Tones: Boasts an intense, deep burgundy-maroon base color that contrasts beautifully with lighter, neon corals in your aquascape.
- Furry "Pin Cushion" Texture: The highly textured oral disc expands dramatically during the day, showing off individual multi-tipped fuzzy vesicles.
- Extreme Hardiness: Like most premium Rhodactis, this strain lacks a skeletal structure. It is incredibly resilient against minor water parameter swings.
- Fast Colony Builder: Under the right conditions, it safely reproduces via natural splitting or foot lacerations, letting you grow a beautiful cluster over time.
Quick Care Parameters:
- Lighting: Low to Moderate (PAR 50 - 120). Best kept in lower-light areas or under the partial shade of larger rockwork.
- Water Flow: Low to Medium indirect flow. Excessive direct flow will cause the mushroom to pinch shut or lose its footing.
- Placement: Bottom rockwork or isolated "island" rocks. Tip: Place it on a dedicated rock to control its footprint as it spreads.
- Diet: Primarily photosynthetic. It actively responds to weekly spot-feedings of fine particulate coral foods or powdered plankton for faster growth.
