Bullseye Rock Mushroom (Fungiidae Coral) (Purple Rhodactis sp.)

(Also known as Purple Bullseye Mushroom Coral, Hairy Mushroom Coral, or Elephant Ear Mushroom Coral)

Overview

The Purple Bullseye Rock Mushroom (Rhodactis sp.) is a vibrant and hardy soft coral (Corallimorpharian) admired for its deep violet to metallic purple coloration and distinct bullseye patterning. Its fleshy, textured oral disc is covered in short, bubble-like vesicles that shimmer under blue or actinic lighting, creating a velvety appearance. The concentric rings and central mouth form the characteristic “bullseye” pattern, which can include highlights of blue, pink, or green depending on lighting and water chemistry. Durable, adaptable, and visually stunning, this coral is a popular choice for adding richness and contrast to shaded or low-flow areas of the reef aquarium.

Origin

Native to the Indo-Pacific region, including the Great Barrier Reef, Coral Sea, Fiji, Tonga, Indonesia, and the Solomon Islands. Commonly found in protected reef slopes, lagoons, and shaded rock outcrops, where lighting is subdued and water flow gentle.

Feeding

The Purple Bullseye Mushroom Coral is photosynthetic, relying primarily on zooxanthellae within its tissue. It also benefits from supplemental feeding to maintain strong coloration and steady growth. Feed 1–2 times per week with:

  • Finely chopped seafood (shrimp, clam, or fish)
  • Mysis or enriched brine shrimp
  • Marine snow or fine coral foods

Target feeding encourages fuller expansion and supports long-term health.

Lighting

Low to moderate lighting.Rhodactis prefers diffused or indirect light and may lose colour or contract under strong illumination.

  • PAR range: 50–150 ¬µmol/m¬≤/s
  • Ideal placement in shaded areas or on lower rockwork.
  • Blue and actinic lighting enhances its deep purple and metallic highlights.
Water Flow

Low to moderate, indirect flow. Gentle, circulating water movement helps keep the coral clean and oxygenated while allowing full polyp expansion. Excessive flow can cause detachment or damage to the soft tissue.

Placement
  • Place on lower rockwork or the substrate, ideally in shaded or low-light areas.
  • Provide ample space for growth — Rhodactis can expand significantly and spread by budding.
  • Avoid proximity to aggressive stinging corals or high-flow zones.
  • Excellent for shaded aquascape corners or transitional zones in mixed reefs.
Tank Mates

Reef safe. Compatible with:

  • Peaceful reef fish (gobies, blennies, wrasses, tangs, clownfish, etc.)
  • Invertebrates such as shrimp, snails, and hermit crabs
  • Other soft corals and non-aggressive LPS species

Avoid:

  • Aggressive LPS corals (e.g., Euphyllia, Galaxea, Hydnophora) nearby
  • Butterflyfish or large angelfish that may nip the coral’s soft tissue
Aggression

Moderate.Rhodactis corals can release mild toxins and overgrow nearby species, competing for space. Maintain sufficient spacing from other corals to prevent encroachment.

Experience Level

Beginner. The Purple Bullseye Mushroom Coral is extremely hardy and forgiving, suitable for aquarists of all experience levels. Its tolerance for varied water conditions and lighting makes it ideal for both nano and large reef aquariums.

Water Parameters
  • Temperature: 24–27°C (75–81°F)
  • pH: 8.1–8.4
  • Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
  • Alkalinity (dKH): 8–12
  • Calcium: 380–450 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
  • Nitrate: <10 ppm (tolerant up to 15 ppm)
  • Phosphate: <0.05 ppm
  • Tank Size: Minimum 50 litres (13 gallons); suitable for nano reefs or larger systems

Consistent parameters and moderate nutrient levels help sustain its intense purple tones and soft texture.

Reef Compatibility

Fully reef safe. The Purple Bullseye Rock Mushroom Coral is a versatile, low-maintenance coral ideal for adding colour depth and organic movement to shaded or low-light reef areas. Its hardiness and adaptability make it a reliable and beautiful addition to any mixed reef setup.

Starts off very cool
I got this pillowcase for my husband because he is always hot at night and has trouble falling asleep because of it. The fabric of this pillowcase feels very similar to a cooling pillowcase that I have had for years and love (but is discontinued, so I can't get any more of them). It is a silky smooth, not-quite-satin fabric that feels initially very cool to the touch. It fits on a standard size pillowcase, and has a slight pocket end (not very much overlap, so it does come untucked during the night). My husband reports that this pillowcase is very cooling right when he goes to bed, but after a short while, it warms up and isn't really cool anymore. So if he doesn't fall asleep right away (and he usually doesn't), he has to flip it over. His head puts out a lot of heat at night though, so the pillowcase might stay cooler longer for others.

Doesn’t stay on the pillow.
Color: Gray, Size: Queen (2 Count)
The concept is there, but the pillow case doesn’t stay on. Every night the pillow case slides either half way or completely off the pillow. If it stayed on I would love it
