Rhodactis inchoata, otherwise known as the bullseye mushroom or Tonga blue mushroom, is a species of mushroom coral in the genus Rhodactis, this species is also, but more uncommonly, referred to as the hairy or small elephant ear mushroom.[1] This species of Rhodactis cnidarian can also sometimes be kept in aquariums, and mostly prefers low to medium lighting in the room where it is kept in, and a low level in water movement, which makes this species easy to keep in an aquarium.[1]
