overview
  
The Green Mushroom Coral (Actinodiscus sp.) is sometimes called a Green Fluorescent Mushroom Coral, a Green Mushroom Colony, a Green Mushroom Anemone, or a Green Disc Anemones. It belongs to the family named Actinodiscidae. The Green Mushroom Coral is semi-aggressive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is good and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Actinodiscus sp. in general should have standard (3 watts/gallon) light to thrive. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include a moderate water current and a fluctuating water current.
