The photos are of two polyps of Rare Red Pincushion Mushroom, WYSIWYG Live Coral for sale on a large 1.5" Alternative Reef frag disk.
The LC Shades of Autumn Rhodactus is a total showstopper for collectors who want something beyond the usual "shroom" varieties. This rare red pincushion rhodactis features massive, fluffy orange textures that give it a deep 3D look when viewed up close. It’s framed by a purple skirt that sports highly sought-after pink tips, all centered around a sharp blue mouth.
This isn't your average mushroom; it’s a beefy, high-contrast specimen that brings a "fall foliage" vibe to your reef. Because it's a WYSIWYG coral, the exact fluffy, multi-colored piece in the photo is what you’re getting. If you’re hunting for a hardy live coral that combines rare colors with insane texture, the Shades of Autumn is a top-tier pick for any high-end collection.
Lighting: Mushroom corals prefers lower to medium lighting. Avoid placing it directly under intense light, as this can cause it to bleach or lose its vibrant coloration. A good starting point is the sand bed or a shaded area on your rockwork.
Currently kept under Kessil A360X units. Mounting height 24" above water line. 12:00PM - 10:00PM at 100% blue intensity.
Water Flow: This coral prefers low to very low water flow. Strong, direct flow can cause the mushroom's tissue to retract and prevent it from opening fully. It can also cause the coral to detach from its frag plug and get blown around the tank.
Feeding: While not strictly required, occasional supplemental feeding can help promote faster growth and enhanced health. You can spot-feed the Sunfire Ricordea with small, meaty foods like finely chopped mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or high-quality coral pellets. Feed it when the lights are off or at a low setting.
Placement: The ideal placement is on the sand bed or a lower section of your aquascape where it receives gentle flow and lower light.
