Anybody have an idea what might be wrong with my Ricordias and Mushrooms, everything is starting to thin out like not a single mushroom or ric look good they are pulled in tight and not looking fluffy but the rest of my soft coral is doing fine. Does anyone know what might be causing it, I can't seem to figure it out... The timer isn't broken on the lights, the water hasn't really changed temp in the last few years I don't know what could be doing this and I don't want to loose all my shroom. Please help, thanks.
 
They are cell phone pictures not the best but I hope they help.

I would first try a couple of W/C, and test and list parameter.

Then I would consider lighting, what type and how far away are they from it.

Then I might consider any type of pest.

Corallimorpharia can be very sensitive to simple things like adding carbon to a tank. They are by far one of easiest corals to grow. And they prefer lower lighting.

Are you feeding them?
 
Did you make any changes to your tank or perform any maintenance recently? How old are you bulbs? Have you changed them recently, increased wattage or changed the color temp? Are you dosing any supplements or using an Aiptasia remover? Mushrooms don't react negativley to much but there are a few things. Drastic changes in light, overdosage of supplements, use of Aiptasia remover.
