The Wagon Wheel Mushroom Actinodiscus marmoratus propagates easily in captivity, though after splitting the clone mushroom doesn't necessarily always resemble the "mother" mushroom, thus giving the aquarist a variety of shades and colors. Due to their small size, they are a great addition to any nano tank or any larger sized tank as well. There is no need to feed them in captivity as they will take what nutrients they need from the water. Their fluorescent green totally pops out under the actinic lighting and will be very eye catching in your display. It is one of the most recognizable mushrooms and though a bit costly, most stores carry them on a regular basis. marmoratus is a great coral for beginners to advanced aquarists. Although they do not have the long feeding tentacles to capture prey like those found in sea anemones and stony coral, their pimples serve them well by holding several types of stinging cells. In nature they primarily feed off suspended micro particles from the water column. Like most Actinodiscus mushrooms, the Wagon Wheel Mushroom or Marbled Mushroom Actinodiscus marmoratus typically reaches only 2-3" (5-8 cm). They can come in green, blue, or brown, but most commonly they are brown with green to blue marbled, radiating splotches. The surface of their oral disc is slightly rough with many bumps of a contrasting color. These names are descriptive of this very pretty and unusual mushroom corals appearance. The Wagon Wheel Mushroom Actinodiscus marmoratus is also known as Marbled Mushroom, Green Marbled Mushroom, Thick Striped Mushroom, and Mottled Mushroom.
