Hello, I've had two sets of mushrooms in my tank for a while now. well i have one that has been there well over a year, and started spreading like crazy, and another that is about two months old. Both mushrooms were doing great, but all the sudden two days ago they just started shrinking and dying out! is there anything i can do to check in my tank to save them? or anything that might be killing them? the one mushroom is a "hairy" mushroom i think and the other is just a normal purple mushroom. but they are really looking sad and i dont want to lose them, any help would be great, thanks.
mushrooms dying, help quick!

alkalinity is one suspect. Can you test for alkalinity and ph? Nitrites/nitrates? Run water tests immediately. Take a water sample to your local fish store and get it tested if you don't have your own kits yet. If alkalinity is off, you may need to add buffer; if otherwise, you may need to run carbon.
yeah i have a nice test kit that can test all of that. i'll try testing all that, although i do run tests quite frequently so i'm not sure that that would be it. I actually had an anenomie that split into two, then split again a while back. the beginning of the week, one anenomie went behind the rocks and i havent seen it again. could it have died and put some sort of toxin into the tank? just a thought. the weird thing is, every other coral seems to be even more healthy than before, and the mushrooms are dying off quick
