Overview

'WWC Mercury Bounce' is a bounce mushroom traded under a WWC (World Wide Corals) lineage name. Unlike the origin-labeled Bali Bounce, the lineage name works as the identifier and divided pieces circulate with the name attached. Like other bounces it is a Rhodactis with bubble-like bumps, and color and bump development shift with tank conditions. Keep it under low-to-moderate light and gentle flow; strong light or flow deflates the bumps. It propagates by splitting and is traded per polyp. We register it here as a WWC lineage.

How to identify

Unlike OG or Sunkist, whose names describe their colors, Mercury is identified by the lineage name itself. It is hard to tell from OG or other bounces by looks alone, so the named source of the division is the basis for identification.

Grade tiers

Grade names used in the trade for this genus. Criteria vary by seller.

Standard
Small bubbles and a single color; young specimens that have not yet formed bubbles also fall here.
Select
Clearly formed bubbles with two colors split between the base and the bubbles.
Ultra
Large bubbles in multiple colors; the more uniform the bubble count and size, the higher the rating.

Bounce mushrooms are rated by bubble size and color count. For named lines such as OG and Sunkist, see the lineage pages.

Typical price range

Roughly 10,000-50,000 yen per polyp as a guide. Prices vary widely with bump count, size and seller.

Varies widely by season, specimen and seller. Treat as a rough guide.
