Yes, mushroom corals are considered rather easy to keep.
Beginner-Friendly Corals
Mushroom corals are widely recognized as an ideal choice for "beginner" aquarists. Their resilience and relatively simple care requirements make them a popular addition to many reef tanks.
Environmental Tolerance
One reason for their ease of care, as highlighted in the reference, is their tolerance for certain water parameters that might stress other corals. Specifically:
- They seem to thrive in high nutrient waters.
- Slightly higher nitrate levels should not be worrisome.
This ability to absorb nutrients directly from the water is believed to contribute to their hardiness, especially in environments where nutrient control isn't perfectly dialed in, which is often the case in newer systems or for novice hobbyists.
In summary, based on their classification as beginner-friendly and their tolerance for higher nutrients, mushroom corals are indeed considered easy to keep.
