Bride of Frankenstein Pin Cushion Rhodactis Mushroom
Transform Your Tank with a Named Morph That's as Dramatic as Its Name Suggests
Looking for a mushroom coral with genuine personality? The Bride of Frankenstein Pin Cushion Rhodactis is a collector-named morph that delivers exactly the kind of high-contrast, head-turning coloration the name promises — dark, moody base tones cut with striking bright accents across a richly textured, bumpy surface that catches light in a way flat mushrooms simply can't. The Pin Cushion texture gives it a three-dimensional quality that makes it look different from every angle, and the Bride of Frankenstein coloration makes it unmistakable in any tank it inhabits.
Rhodactis mushrooms are among the most forgiving soft corals you can keep — low light, low flow, and stable parameters are all they require. The Pin Cushion variety is particularly satisfying because the texture becomes more pronounced as the polyp matures and settles into your system. Place it low on the rockwork or sandbed, give it space to expand, and watch it develop into a centerpiece all on its own.
