Very large and interesting mushroom

[basiab]

The two pictures are both in the same spot but in the first picture it is fully spread out. Popsicle stick in picture is for reference. In this picture the shroom is up on the glass and the rock. It has finger like tan polyps, a white mouth and a bright green background that looks like a light is on behind it. In the second picture it is scrunched up and the green is more intence. No special care is required. At night it folds up into a ball and the underside is what is visable. It is too big for my 10 gallon tank. So $20 or best offer has it.

They are cool, try target feeding it some brine shrimp. It will close up on them like a balloon!

 

[basiab]

Correct, it even did it for the popsicle stick.

Not a rock anemonie, and I don't think its a mushroom.

I think it's a plate. Short or long tentacle plate I'm not sure.

1st.pic is long tentacle plate

A mushroom with a mouth?

 

[Deanos]

Every mushroom I've ever seen has a mouth.

I remember reading/hearing that you can cut the mushroom in half and you'll have two smaller mushrooms. If you get no buyers, you could always do that. Maybe google fragging mushrooms just to be sure...

Well, it is still for sale. The person who said they would come by Saturday night did not come so you have another chance.
