Mushroom HELP
 
We bought some mushrooms today 7 heads on 1 rock, since being in ur tank they havent opened and they now have brown strings coming from them does anyone know what this means? or what I should do??

That is normal. Let them settle in, they will go back in.

is it a brown slime or brown tenticles keep an eye on them if it seems to be slimey sound like a bacterial infection whats ur lighting / water parameters where they in the tank u got them from vs ur tank too much lighting and they can fry like that too good luck

It looks like strings coming from them, we did all our tests today everything is fine 100% we have t5s and the tank we bough them from they were at the very top so we put ours in the middle should I take them out??

not yet they wont harm anything for now see what there doing could be feeding tenticles although there usually clear i have had colonies or mushrooms when stressed go brown u may lose a few pylops but kep an eye on them

okay so what if its slimy?? what should I do then??

BlueTang<3 02-19-2010 03:24 AM

now that is hit or miss u need to know the problem first kinda sorry i am not more help but if it is light related move them down bacterial dip them in tropic marine coral dip or related and well when i had it happen to me i sucked the slime out cant say if that is right or not tho it worked for me and well saved my mushrooms
