do you feel your corals? do you feed your fish a mash of mysis and stuff?

try a little more light. I had this happen to a few mushrooms that I transferred from my 5G with PC to my 65 with MH. I put them in the shade and they didn't like it, went all white and shrivelly, moved them into a little more light and they opened up right away.

Our mushrooms/ric's do this every now and then to. It's usually when we've moved them or changed the direction of the flow. In our case I believe chemical warfare is involved even though we are running carbon.

Can you tell us more about the flow? I know you mentioned that you had blocked them from too much flow. How much are they experiencing now?

Hi Catherine, thanks for the reply. Right now they do get some flow, but there is a little arch in my rockwork, so I put them under that, on the sandbed. They do get water movement, but it is very light. Either way, it didnt change when I had it exposed to more flow, to now where it is more protected. I am going to try moving it out to a little more flow, and up just a little and see if more light helps at all. Strangely enough, I have a different type of mushroom that is doing OK....meaning it is open and growing, just quite slow (slower than healthy mushrooms). Somethings not quite right, I like these things and dont want to kill them!!
