I found this interesting...

So my 20g has been running for a couple months, but as of the last month I have somewhat neglected it. No water changes, but kept the water level where it should be.

A week or so ago I found one of my 3 tiny purple mushrooms (only coral I have atm) was missing. I just thought it died or got eaten by something. Saturday night I did a water change, and cleaned out my ac70. Thinking nothing of it I started dumping everything out of it, but I found surprisingly what I thought to be copepods (looked like small shrimp) and also a very small rubbery thing!

Turns out it was the missing mushroom, and he was living in the bottom of my ac 70. I dont know how well though, almost no light in there. I grabbed him and set him on a rock that seemed safe hoping he would make it. The next day he looks settled in and blooming nice and big.

This was my first experience of something like this. I thought these things were much more fragile, but I have a new respect for these guys.

 

Mushrooms are very hardy. Congrats on finding it.

 

Ha, that's great. Those things definitely for better, or for worse, can be pretty indestructible LOL.

I did a water change yesterday that floated back 3 lost mushrooms, my missing Maxi Mini Anemone, and a teeny tiny toadstool mushroom(not sure where he came from). Mushrooms are very hardy. When mine get too big, I cut them off my rocks and stick them into a container. Not only will the cut pieces survive, but they will also rejuvenate themselves back into the same spot they were cut from....thus doubling the population.
