I've had these mushrooms now for about 2 months, probably slightly less and they've been doing great until this week.

Now unfortunately they are looking like this.

The change has come in the last week. Last Thursday I added two new corals that I ordered from LiveAquria.com, a Indigo Digitata Montipora and a Solomon Salmon Digitata. Could this be a reaction to adding these corals?

I tested my water parameters today and I got

ph 8.19
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
Calcium 420
KH 12
Phospate 0
salinity 1.0235

Any help or suggestions on reversing this condition would be greatly appreciated.
 
I don't think ading those montis would affect your mushrooms.
What lighting is it under? My shrooms tend to not like too much light.
Also I would slowly raise the salinity closer to 1.026, although your present salinity probably has
nothing to do with the current situation.

Sometimes though, I've seen mushrooms dissolve for what seems like no reason.
 
my shrooms tend too like much light! You have a fairly new system, I would give it some time. Wild shrooms can be tough-good luck!
 
I have them under Power Compact lights, 2x96 watt. One is 10K the other is Actinic. It's a corallife 36 inch unit. And thanks for your quick replies :)
