Hey everyone. I got these two lil baby Bubble mushrooms and theyve been great up till this last week. Theyve be in the tank for about 5-6 weeks. Well it was a vibrant color before with fat inflated bubbles all over it but lately this past week its hunched over and is pure white. IDK what went wrong. I have a T5 HO light on my tank. My other corals seem well except these guys. Any suggestions ill try to add a pic in a min...

Thats a ricordea.

How is the mushroom above it? How long have you had the ricordea? It looks like it might not be attached?

Did this happen when you added new lights? Just an observation of your other post...

The mushroom above is doing awesome. Bigger and greener than when I bought it.
I just got back from LFS and I showed them the pictures and water too. Water was good. THey said sometimes it just happens. To take it out or try to save it. But most likely too far along to survive. I dont understand why it happened....

So you added stronger lights and then it bleached? When increasing the amount of light, use window type screens over the tank to reduce light and every few days take one off so that the corals can get useto the brighter light.

What kind of mushroom is that other one? I have one. Liveaquaria calls it a hairy mushroom. Mine can get to 7" diameter somedays. Started out looking like yours.
