I didnt think so rics are alot denser and i have never seen any as big as these. just was hoping they were. they have spread all over this rock in the last 2-3 months. I bet there is 7-9 new ones growing. They are one of my fav's in the tank! Thanks for the info!!

If they are anything like mine, they will keep multiplying until you can't give them away fast enough. They are one of the few types of mushrooms that I still keep. I love how they cover the rocks.

these are hairy mushrooms.. the shrooms in my pics do not look anything like this
http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/p...cfm?pCatId=665

these shrooms look exactly like what i have growing in my system
http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden...5445&siteid=20

If i had a better camera i could get close ups of the shrooms. I have green hairy shrooms in my tank also but my orange ones in the pics have larger bubbly tentacles all over and a neon green mouth. I think these are Ricordea yuma shrooms.

Tonga mushrooms?? Don't think i have ever seen them i will look them up unless you have a link for some pics. All the orange shrooms came from 2 that came on the big rock from the lfs they were not hitchhikers the rock was from someone else's system. thanks for the info
