red mushroom not doing so well!!!

[diverxxx]

i bought a rock of red mushroom a few weeks back,

it was doing fine for a week until it started to fall of the rocks one my one...

what could be the problem here?

[Aquareef123]

Could be water parameter, lighting (too strong or too weak), wave too strong.

Where you place it? Should start from the sand bed first.

Fall of the rock??..either could be To much wave or Light..Try moving it and see got..difference not..

Did you acclimatise the red mushrooms before putting them into your tank? From experience, I found that acclimatising the corals by slowly dripping tank water into the holding bag prior to placement will prevent parameter shock which may lead to coral detachments from rocks. If you did not acclimatise the mushrooms, it could be a possible cause of detachments.

It could be the waves are too strong and they got dislodged. If light is too strong, they would likely be bleached instead.

All the best.

haha let it float to somewhere it likes. or u can take a small box, fill it with tank water and some small debris and let them latch on to it. then u glue down that small bit of debris onto your rocks in the tank.
