Magic Carpet Mushroom

Premium Magic Carpet Mushroom Coral - 3" Specimen

The Magic Carpet Mushroom is one of the most visually striking soft corals in the reef hobby — and this 3" specimen is a standout. Named for its rippling, carpet-like texture and vivid coloration, this coral creates a mesmerizing focal point in any reef tank. Under proper lighting, the colors shift and shimmer, making it look almost alive with movement even when perfectly still.

Care Requirements:

• Lighting: Low to medium (50-100 PAR) — Magic Carpet Mushrooms thrive under moderate lighting and can bleach under excessive intensity. Acclimate slowly if moving from lower light
• Flow: Low to medium indirect flow — Gentle, random flow allows the mushroom to fully expand and display its signature rippled texture. Avoid direct, strong flow which can cause the coral to retract
• Placement: Lower to middle rockwork or sand bed — Provide a stable, flat surface with room to spread. These mushrooms will slowly expand over time
• Difficulty: Easy — An excellent choice for hobbyists of all experience levels, including beginners

Growth & Behavior: Magic Carpet Mushrooms are hardy, fast-growing corals that will reproduce and spread across your rockwork under optimal conditions. They're photosynthetic and largely self-sufficient, making them one of the most low-maintenance corals available at this price point.

Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic, but will benefit from occasional target feeding with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or reef roids 1-2 times per week for enhanced growth and coloration.
