Ive had some Green and Blue Mushrooms in my tank for a few weeks and the green Mushrooms look great but the blue ones are starting to shrivel.
They are next to each other on the sand bed and i didn't know if they needed to be separated?
I have a Duncan and a leather that are also doing fine.
Water parameters are below:-
Nitrates undetectable
Phosphates 0.07
PH 8.1
Temp 26
Salinity 1.26
Alk 7.8
Cal 460
Mag - Not measured yet
Any suggestions?
Cheers

Everything looks ok, IME some mushrooms will just melt away.

Only way I've ever been able to make a mushroom unhappy is too much flow.

You might want to find the blue mushrooms some shade for awhile & see how they respond. I'm not sure if this is a lighting issue, but it's definitely worth a shot. GL.
What are you using to measure your salinity? If it's too high that could possibly be a problem.

Thanks guys for the suggestions, ill move the mushrooms into some shade for a while and see how they respond.
I have a Profilux and a Refractometer for measuring salinity so im sure that's not an issue.

Definitely put them in the shade for a bit. Once they start expanding and reaching for sunlight, slowly start moving them closer to where they originally were.
