I think I just expected to see him out and about because the one I got a few years back was full grown and never hid other than to shed. Being this one is alot smaller I can see him fitting into some tight spaces.
Why are mushrooms so expensive= Darrens a good guy. LOL. I love how off track some threads get. But now I know why they are a little pricey. Thanks for the info. I'd still chose a scoly over a mushroom though.
One head a year!!!!!!!!!!! Thats Crazy. I know they look nice. I just cant get over the price of some things and this being a mushroom I thought that was HIGH. Expecially since the pics I see are tiny.
I get the store front to a point. But you also have to realize I'm south so the LFS are just as pricey as the online places.

Even if they are slow growers, its a mushroom. I understand pricing on some corals like scoly's for instance, very hard to frag and I've very rarely heard of them reproducing naturally in aquariums.
I am just curious why Jawbreakers are so expensive. I just can't figure out why something that spreads and is fragged so easily is $150+. Is it just because people will pay it or are they just not as hardy as most mushrooms?
You could try to burp it.
Burping and Puncturing
When certain fish are brought up from depths greater than 40 feet too quickly, their swim bladders, which normally control buoyancy, can overinflate from rapid depressurization. Burping is a technique used on a fish with an overinflated swim...
