Green Mushroom Coral, also known as Sarcophyton glaucum, is a species of soft coral that belongs to the family Alcyoniidae. It is commonly found in the Indo-Pacific region, including the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Gulf of Thailand. As its name suggests, Green Mushroom Coral has a mushroom-like appearance with a smooth, fleshy surface and a thick stalk. Its color varies from green to brown, and it can grow up to 30 cm in diameter. The coral’s polyps are retractable, and they have eight tentacles that are lined with stinging cells called nematocysts, which they use to capture small planktonic organisms for food. Green Mushroom Coral is a popular choice among reef aquarium enthusiasts due to its hardiness and ease of care. However, it is important to note that like all corals, it requires stable water conditions and appropriate lighting to thrive. Additionally, it is important to place it in a location where it will not come into contact with other corals, as it can release toxins that can harm nearby organisms.
