Leather vs mushroom

afqu · 10/24/2007, 02:33 PM

I am fairly new (6mo.) to reef keeping -had fish only back in the 70-80s

I have a cabbage leather (sinularia dura) being moved upon by the blue/purple discosoma mushrooms. Is there a conflict with these, and can I tease the leather off of his foot-hold to move it?
Thanks
Jean

i keep my leathers next to my mushrooms with no problems, but if they do start to kill each other they can be cut away from the rock easily

just watch your flow rates---mushrooms do not like alot of flow.

Cabbage leather is pretty hardy and so are mushrooms--the cabbage will grow taller then the mushrooms so you should be ok.
