Candy Crush Eclectus Mushroom Add to Watch List Watching View Watchlist >

The Candy Crush Eclectus Mushroom displays an array of bright neon greens, oranges, and pinks, with some variations showing bold accents of red or yellow. The mushroom’s surface has a textured, bumpy appearance that gives it a sort of "fluffy" or "puffy" look. The colors are often marbled or interspersed in a way that makes the coral look like it’s been dipped in vibrant candy hues, which creates a mesmerizing visual effect, especially under blue or actinic lighting where its fluorescent qualities really pop.

What makes the Candy Crush Eclectus Mushroom Coral so special is not just its vibrant coloration but also its ability to change and shift colors based on the lighting conditions and water parameters it’s exposed to. Under different lighting, it may appear to glow or shimmer, creating a different effect in the tank depending on the angle or intensity of light hitting it.

As with most mushroom corals, Candy Crush Eclectus Mushrooms are relatively easy to care for, making them a good choice for both beginners and experienced hobbyists. Here are some things to keep in mind:

• Lighting: While they can tolerate lower light levels, they really show off under moderate to strong lighting, especially LEDs or T5, which bring out the brightest colors.

• Water Flow: These mushrooms prefer low to moderate water flow, as too much current can cause them to become stressed or shriveled.

• Water Parameters: They thrive in stable conditions, including a salinity of around 1.025 and a temperature between 75-80°F (24-27°C). A slightly higher pH and low nutrient levels are ideal.

• Placement: It’s best to place them on the substrate or on a rock, as they will grow out and spread over time, forming larger, beautiful patches of color.
