melting shrooms
melting shrooms
I recently went through this with my 75 mixed reef. All mushrooms-red, blue, green striped, knobby, bullseye etc. all (melted away) within a 2 week window. Ordinarily you would think crash or something out of whack but water params check out and other corals sps, lps softies are all thriving. In fact during this 2 week window our monti caps had a growth spurt. Lfs said the cause was bristle worms irritating the mushrooms but I wont bite. 7 colonies gone within 2 weeks, each colony dissolved in 1-2 days. These mushrooms were the first corals in this tank and all lived in peace for a year and a half. Guess its just nature taking its course.
