Interesting Foot On Mushroom

[Luke.]

so today I looked at m mushroom and seen the foot detached but no head from what I cN see here's a pic is it spreading or wtf is wrong with it lol .. In the left it's clearly detached and in the right it wrapes around the rock. Never seen this before lol

 

[heath]

is that one mushroom or are there others there, its hard to tell..

 

[Luke.]

It's the Orange mushroom but his foots purple and there's a chunk of it a few mm beside it to the left then it's on the right awell

 

[heath]

where in your tank do you have it and is it a new piece?

 

[TORX]

Ummm, the big orange part is the head. Mushrooms move sometimes, leaving a small piece behind. That small piece will grow into another mushroom in time and proper conditions.

It's about a month and a half old and is half way up but on the fluval led side not my kessil 160 side ( mushrooms don't do very well on kessil side they get crispy lol )

 

[Luke.]

[Luke.]

[heath]

that is strange looking, I will be following along to see how it does...

This is 100% normal for mushrooms. The self propagate. When they move, they leave a little piece behind that grows another mushroom. Same I'd you cut it off the rock, a new one will grow

Its a happy mushroom! I got all sorts of small ones in my tank now. Once they get established it doesnt seem to take them long
to start spreading.

Is it easy and do I have anything to worry about with mushroom? I know how zoas have toxins etc

Nothing to worry about. Even with zoas, when fragging under water, I wouldn't do 100 at a time, but the mushroom doing this is 100% normal and 100% safe.

Ok , also I have green pallys and 2 heads grew on a rock I didn't NOT want them on :/ .. So now im kinda scared to get em off I'd have to take off 5 corals and the rock is about 20lbs (my biggest)
