    To my surprise i was cleaning up my tank removing the dead crab and my dead starfish :-/:angry: i found a small mushroom about 1cm across on the sand bed.... its a Harry Mushroom that survived!!!

    When i saw it attached to a rock i moved it up into the light with very low to no current. :)

    if you want like a hundred of them, put it through the powerhead... give it like a month, then they will pop up everywhere

    Mine is still semi see through and has a small hint of Lime green inside it!

    Thank You ;D

    Since they are coming from my dads tank and that family where they are 11" long i think i might just keep one. :)

    Ya i was surprised to find it under all of the rock in the darkest spot growing! :eek:

    11" long for a hairy shroom? Have you ever seen it eat mysis or anything like that? If so, it is not a hairy, but an elephant ear.

    You have yourself some pretty elephant ear shrooms. As long as your clowns, if you have any, don't try to host to them, don't try to host to them you have nothing to worry about.
