My hairy mushrooms are dying little by little every night. It's almost if something is eating them. But I havn't added anything different to the tank in the last 6 months and I'v had them going great for about a year or so. Attached it the photos of a good one and a dying one next to it. I need some help. Thanks

[welcome]
What are you testing for and what are the results.
Is it dying or is it splitting? Can't tell by the picture but it almost looks like it is splitting into two. Mine has done this and in a few days you will hav 2 healthy giant mushrooms

No it is not splitting. Probably after tonight it will be gone. Just like the last 2 that I lost last night. It also has a mucas that is cumming off of it. I have tested for the following
Nitrates- .5
Amonia-0
Phos.-0
Calcium-390
SG 1.024

Your sg is on the low side. 1.0264 is the norm for a reef.
You should test for
ALK
PH
Mag
Here is a great read on this stuff.

Yeah, also I forgot my KH is at 9 and my ph is at 8.3. Have not checked my mag. Also I should mention that on the other side of the tank I have another set of these mushrooms and they are doing just fine. ???

Hummm. How about chem warfare. What is close to it. Do you run a good carbon...

There is nothing really close to it except Xenia. I do not run carbon at all.
