Jaw breaker mushroom

How do you care for a jaw dropper mushroom? I place mine at the bottom of the tank about 27" deep. It's open but not as open as other mushrooms in the tank.

Thx.

Not my pic but almost exactly the same color.

Yes you mean Jawbreakers. They're actually a Discosoma mushroom species from Vietnam. I have one about quarter size and one baby. They're pretty easy. I have mine on the sandbed for now. Low flow and low to medium light for me.
 
Yeah these jawbreakers are an old school high end mushroom. Unlike most discosomas they dont reproduce as fast. Hence why they cost 100-300$.

These mushrooms start orange and get red streaks and then later get green streaks. Ive heard of them getting bits of purple too.
