Purple Monster Mushroom

Purple Monster Mushroom – A Deepwater Beauty with Intense Color

The Purple Monster Mushroom is a stunning and exotic coral, known for its rich, deep purple coloration with bright neon highlights that create a mesmerizing contrast under actinic lighting. This rare and highly sought-after mushroom features a smooth, fleshy surface with subtle, iridescent speckles, making it a standout addition to any reef aquarium.

Care Instructions:

• Lighting: Low to moderate (PAR 50-150) – Prefers indirect or shaded areas
• Flow: Low to moderate – Gentle water movement helps maintain its shape and prevents detachment
• Placement: Low to mid-level; best placed on rockwork or substrate in lower-light areas
• Water Parameters:
  • Temperature: 76-80°F
  • Salinity: 1.024-1.026 SG
  • pH: 8.1-8.4
  • Alkalinity: 8-12 dKH
  • Calcium: 400-450 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1300-1400 ppm
  • Nitrate: 5-15 ppm
  • Phosphate: 0.03-0.10 ppm

Feeding & Growth:

The Purple Monster Mushroom primarily sustains itself through photosynthesis but will benefit from occasional target feeding with reef-safe amino acids, phytoplankton, or finely chopped meaty foods (mysis, brine shrimp) to enhance growth and color intensity.

Compatibility & Special Considerations:

• Non-aggressive, making it a great addition to mixed reef tanks
• Can relocate itself if unhappy with placement—monitor for movement
• Prefers stable water conditions, as rapid parameter changes can stress the coral
