Description

White Striped Mushrooms have similar coloration to Green Mushrooms, but have white lines that start at the center, near the mouth, and go the edge of the mushrooms disc. White Striped Mushrooms are either the hardiest group of cnidarians or close runners-up. They can be easily maintained in "standard" or reef-type marine aquaria, are hardy, undemanding, very good choices for beginning to advanced hobbyists. All they ask for is iodine supplementation without too much light or strong current.

White Striped Mushrooms can have a blue-green tint around the white lines depending on what type of water quality, lighting and supplemental feedings they receive. The green coloration will also intensify with supplemental actinic lighting. Fragments can be taken and grown separately. Allow room to expand.

Diet

Require little or no supplemental feedings, as they are photosynthetic. But you can supplement with reef foods, such as our Blue Zoo Mix or other small meaty foods.
