Order: Corallimorpharia ( Mushroom false coral )

Some of the common names are mushroom rock, hairy mushrooms, metallic mushrooms or simply shrooms.
Corallimorphs come in many forms and colors and this makes them one of the most collectible reef animals.
Colors range from Green, red, to blue and purple. Oral disks can be smooth, striped, or pimply.
Though corallimorpharians rely primarily on their photosynthetic zooxanthellae for nutrition, lighting is not much of a problem.

They are very easy to care for and will spread if allowed.

Elongated stalk with flat oral disc. A row of tenticles radiates from the disks outer edge.
They produce a substance known as palytoxin (Mebs, 1989) that is one of the most toxic naturally occurring poisons known. Symbiotic algae provides the majority of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis. Also weekly feedings of brine shrimp. My polpys eat like pigs!
