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.

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.

Great for smaller dogs
Size: Small
These two balls are perfect for the smaller mouthed dog that loves to play fetch. These balls are not only super durable (lots of teeth biting), but float in the baby pool we use for our miniature dachshunds. The value here is much better than you’d find anywhere else. The noise, if bitten hard enough, was “low” at best. Easy to spot/find if overthrown. Will definitely buy again once these are in bad repair; so far, so good-love these for my fur babies!

My dogs favorite balls
Size: Medium
These are great for my dog who always has to have a ball in her mouth. Not too hard so I don't have to worry about her teeth. They last for ever. They do lose their shape a little over time (like I said, she always has a ball in her mouth) they become a little oval in shape. They still bounce, she still chases it and she still chews on it so I don't think she notices or cares. I've gotten her a bag full of these over time and I have only seen one that she chewed a chunk out.

My Dachshunds Love These
Size: Small
These balls are durable, flexible material, highly chewable without being easily destroyed. I stuff them with Milkbone Maro Snacks, which are just the right size to twist into the holes in the ball. My dogs literally get an hour+ chewing and chasing entertainment from these. They chew them, they sometimes 'pop' out of their mouths, go rolling across the floor, dogs chasing them. This satisfies their urge to hunt prey. Dachshunds can easily tear this kind of stuff-it-toy apart. These have lasted for a long time without tearing or shredding. I would NOT recommend them for a dog much larger than a tweenie weenie. They're a bit on the small side and might be swallowed by a larger dog. It would be cool it they also came in a larger size (and probably ball wall thickness also) for the bigger dogs to enjoy. These stuff-it chew balls are better than the kong balls my dogs had before these. Highly recommend them.
