Plush Textures & Molten Magma Contrast
Command immediate attention on your sandbed with the incredible, plush architecture of the Ultra Pincushion Bounce Mushroom! This collector-grade Rhodactis soft coral earns its name from its extraordinarily dense carpet of velvet, rust-maroon pseudotentacles that perfectly replicate a classic pin cushion. Beneath this rich, earthy surface rests a striking radioactive neon green base disc and an oversized central mouth that explodes with color under deep actinic reef lighting.

Why It Deserves a Spot in Your Tank:
- Signature Pincushion Texture: The fine, multi-dimensional surface nodules give the mushroom a plush 3D appearance, introducing fantastic structural variety next to smooth-ringed corals.
- Developing Bounce Vesicles: Features hyper-inflated, fluid-filled bounce nodules along the inner margin that dynamically alter shape and swell over time.
- Unrivaled Actinics Pop: Shines brightly when transitioning from daytime viewing to actinic blue light, revealing hidden neon-green accents.
- Resilient & Beginner-Friendly: Lacks a rigid calcified skeleton, meaning it easily adapts to changing reef conditions and minor parameter swings without stress.
Quick Care Parameters:
- Lighting: Low to Moderate (PAR 50 - 100). Lower lighting schedules keep the mushroom from shrinking and preserve its deep, dark crimson hues.
- Water Flow: Low, gentle indirect movement. Strong, direct current will pin the flesh back and prevent the signature cushion body from inflating.
- Placement: Bottom rockwork corners, lower sandbed islands, or shaded rubble shelves.
- Diet: Photosynthetic, but features a powerful feeding response. Temporarily kill your flow once a week to spot-feed micro-pellets or pulverized coral foods directly onto its sticky oral disc.
