CC Magic Carpet Mushroom
We’ve grown hundreds of CC Magic Carpets over the years, and they’ve earned their place in the Coral House. They’ve been remarkably hardy for us and can grow to around four inches across.

We recommend starting the CC Magic Carpet Mushroom in the 50 - 125 PAR range.
Flow — Low to Moderate
Low to Moderate
Provide Low to Moderate variable flow that keeps detritus from settling on the Mushroom. Avoid constant direct current from the same direction in favor of random chaotic water movement.
Placement — Lower level
Placement of your CC Magic Carpet Mushroom is one of the most important decisions.
This is where you’ll have to take lighting, flow, future growth and nearby corals into consideration.
Since it prefers 50 - 125 PAR range it will need to be mounted Lower level on your rock work depending on your light intensity.
Allow room for its Solitary growth form, and consider neighboring coral colors and shape. When possible, use contrasting corals such as red next to green, blue next to orange, or yellow next to purple, and mix growth forms such as tall branching corals next to plating or encrusting corals.
