Do a thorough testing of your tank including checking salinity and temperature. If you're using a hydrometer be sure to calibrate it, to double check as hydrometers are often out by 0.002 or more, which doesn't sound like much, but it sure can be!

do you dose lots of calcium?

I find they dislike that and high alk also a low nutrient tank could make them unhappy and lastly too much light on certain mushrooms are fatal even ricordea. I have melted a few in my day however if you had it for a year and it was fine maybe you dosed something?

i started dosing calcium and alk because im switching to sps and slowly starting to phase out the softies. i heard its much easier to raise sps specifically rather than a mix. so it could be the dosing doing it.
