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.

The best sunblock I've found!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion
I absolutely love this sunblock. I have sensory issues with any type of lotion and sunblock, but this stuff is incredible. It really is so lightweight that once it fully soaks in (which only take a few minutes) it feels as if there's nothing on my skin. This is huge for me, cause I just can't handle the feeling of any other sunblocks I've tried, even some more expensive brands. On top of all that, it definitely protects my skin from the sun, doesn't leave a white cast, and doesn't feel greasy while applying it.

My favorite sunscreen for being active outside
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion
I bought this last summer and now it's my go-to. I love it. It absorbs quickly, is very easy to just smear on, and has a nice, very light scent. I wear it when I go running and I sweat like a maniac so that tells you something.

Possibly the best sunscreen on the US market
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion
I'm a self-confessed sunscreen snob. I love trying new formulas, and I came to the conclusion years ago that US formulas aren't usually for me. We haven't had a new filter approved by the FDA since the last millennium, and our products reflect that. I can't tell you how many times I spent $40+ on 1.7oz of sunscreen that I ended up hating before I switched to mostly Korean sunscreens; and most of the US sunscreens I like can be described as "good...for a US formula." In short, I didn't have high hopes for this, and I was very pleasantly surprised. This is a very, very good sunscreen even among non-US formulas. It's lightweight, doesn't make my oily skin shiny, and dries down entirely so it doesn't feel tacky or slimy. I can layer over and over throughout the day without pilling or streaks. It also comes in a huge tube for a very low price. The only possible downside is that it's fragranced, which isn't a deal breaker for me. I wish they still sold the 3oz facial version because it's travel-friendly, but from what I can tell, it's the same formula. Try this, especially if you hate thick, heavy, shiny sunscreens. Unless you can't do fragrance, I think you will be very happy with it.

Favorite Sunscreen!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion
We absolutely love this SPF. It’s been our go-to for years. It does not make your skin feel sticky or crunchy. It goes on so smooth (like air!) and absorbs so well. It feels like the softest moisturizer. And it works! We get the two pack every summer. It’s also kinda hard to find. Amazon always comes through! Highly recommend.

Fave sunscreen!!
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: Lotion
This is my absolute favorite sunscreen. It got my husband to finally start wearing sunscreen at work- it’s the only one he’ll wear. The texture feels so smooth and lightweight on my skin and it covers very well. It also smells delicious.
