Hi guys and gals ....got a mushroom question for ya.I moved a chunk of l/r with a small shroom colony from the sand bed a couple inches up in the tank 2 or 3 days ago. All was cool. Did a water change yesterday afternoon. Again all was cool.Went out for the evening and came home to find the biggest of the shrooms to be completely closed.I'm a noob to SW so this kinda freaked me. Is this a normal thing? Is that what they look like when they feed? Or was he trying to move.Oh ya it is allmost fully open this morning. Might just be me but it looks smaller this mornin. Thanks in advance.
 
They will close up sometimes if they've caught a bit of food or sometimes at night (my guess is a copepod or something got caught by it) or sometimes to expel waste.. As long as it opens back up and looks pretty much the same, probably nothing to worry about :)
 
Sounds like normal shroom activity to me too. I wouldn't be worried unless it stays deflated looking for a week or two.
