Hi guys!!!,been a while but im back.
I recently bought a coral beauty which got ich after a week. i dosed invertebrate safe medicine ( so to treat all the water as well) Eventually moved it to a quarantine tank where it died. the reason for dying i linked to a fin desease. i bought it with a small gapped tail fin. the fin only deteriorated more. there wasnt a sign of fungus or rot, but clearly some parasite was the cause. The fish was most probably inveted with parasites.
to get back to my mushrooms---- i dont think the medicine would have caused the shrinkage, ( might have initially but my skimmer should have taken care of removing it) I added t5 lighting not so long ago, but the shrooms were ok with the stronger lighing at first. Though it could be the lighting so i moved them to a more shaddowed area in the tank, no luck
I added a candy shrimp as well, about a week after the lighting was upgraded. I know that candy shrimp tend to bother small colonial anemones so i didnt think the fellar could be of any harm. it's hard to justify that cause he's mainly active at night time. I cant see any substantial damage to the mushrooms though.
My paramaters are ok. I do add iodine and multi vitamin supplement weekly.
They seem to close properly when it's lights out time but lack their usual puffy disc shape.
What do you guys think it could be?:headshake2:
