mushroom and lighting question?

[dpsa98]

I have a question about my new mushrooms. Im not sure what type they are. The person at my LFS could not tell me very much (no supprise there) "we don't specialize in SW we just cary a few things " anyway When they were at the LFS they were larger since I have had them in my tank they have only opened up one time. I just got them yesterday and im not sure how they eat or where to keep them in my tank. I have 175W MH lighting with blue actinitcs on for about 12hrs a day. I placed them on some LR on the Lower half of the tank but they are really getting to look small now . Are they dying or are they just stressed out?

Thank you,

Your LFS probably had them under less light and your MH is too much of a change for them.

I would try moving them to a shaded area until they get acclimated.
