Melting Mushroom

[christan1959]

Hi folks, my colony of purple mushroom just disintegrated into a jelly overnight.

No warning. Other colonies of mushroom and the rest of the tank unaffected.

Anyone experienced this before?

What's the cause?

Could it be your light placement

[christan1959]

No - nothing has changed. One day doing well, the next, melting.

Maybe its the art of evoluation..its always a question mark for us to unearth

Any corals nearby? could be chemical warfare between them.

Another possibility could be high flow couple with high temp.. Check your placement...

yup... chemical warfare seems most probable cause.

btw, do clams engage in chemical warfare too?

anyone knows?

Clams engage in physical warfare (self defense)
