Mushrooms Turning Green

[NewfieReef]

I have noticed in the last could of days my mushrooms have started turning green and shriving up. Do anyone know what could be causing this?

Some details on my setup:
2 * 54 Watt T-5

Water Parameters:
Salinity 1.025
Ammonia: 0
Nitrites: 0
Nitrates: 5-10
Calcium: 500 ppm
Water Temp 28-30 deg Celsius

What kind of mushrooms? Some mushrooms should be green...haha

I have red mushrooms to which the same thing is happening, they're shriveling up and they seem to be turning green. Could this be disease?

Many mushrooms tend to look more "green" when shriveled up or stressed.

Double check all water parameters, perhaps run some carbon, purigen, etc and do a water change.

How long have you had them? It may also just be an adaptation to your lighting and water conditions. Corals will look different under different lighting, as well as changing symbiotic algea populations in order to adapt to new light conditions.

Thank you!

12gal JBJ Nano Cube
Lighting 1 X 24W CFL's 50/50
Salinity 31.5ppm
Nitrates 0-2
Calcium 420ppm
Temp. 23℃

This is what they looked like when I got them

This is what they turned into about a month later. Now, look at the green/aqua stripes and stains on them that I started noticing about a week ago. Could this be a disease?

It's adapting to different lighting.

Agreed.

The first one looks like a really nice Yuma and the 2nd/3rd look like regular mushrooms.

Looks like that to me too. Not the same kind.

A yuma evolving into a Rhodactis! Now that is a good trick, lgonz45 !

What about mushrooms turning white? We just moved houses so we had to put everything in buckets. Everyone else is healthy but our red mushrooms have some white parts on them

Too bad we can't train Rhods to turn into Yumas!!!! Hahaha
