Rhodactis, a mushroom. Beginner to keep, Typical PAR 40–90, low flow.
Rarity tier: grail, reviewed 2026-08.
A dark blue to green base carrying intensely fluorescent orange bubbles. The orange is in the VESICLES, not the base, and against the blue-green is what carries the premium. Its bubbles run smaller than an OG Bounce but there are more of them.
Orange fades toward tan under too much light, and a washed-out Sunkist gets photographed under blues to hide it. Ask for full-spectrum. Bubble size is the honest separator from an OG Bounce, which the trade blurs constantly, and this site once blurred too: 'Bounce Mushroom' as an alias made both morphs match the same listings.
Low light and low flow, on the sand or a shaded ledge. Sunkist Bounce is beginner to keep at a typical PAR of 40–90 in low flow. A typical starting range for this type of coral rather than a measured requirement for this morph. Spectrum, how it was acclimated and the system it grew in all move it.
