I am having a seious problem with a mushroom colony (discoma sp.). It is a colony of about 20 or so green metallic musrooms that has been doing very well for the past 6 months in my 150g reef tank. A couple days ago the mushrooms at the bottom started getting covered in a jelly like goo and dying. This dieoff has migrated up the rock, and now more than half of the mushrooms have died away.
Otherwise the tank is healthy, with good parameters (ph=8.0, calcium 400mg/l, phosphate=0, nitrite=0, nitrate 0-5ppm, alk=8.0 dKH) The other corals, LPS, SPS, mushrooms, softies and zoas are doing well.
Has anyone seen this before? Perhaps a fungus or a pathogen? Thanks for any help
