My Mushrooms!!

[Travy]

ARGH!!!

The mushroom colony i bought is behaving strangely after one week.

A few of them suddenly decided to detach themselves and drop onto the sand!

Is there a concern for that? Hope its normal man...

i notice shrooms can notice where are area with more lights.... if the sand bed area allows that to get more light, they might detach themselve and move over.....

[boxfish]

quite risky for the mushroom as it won't know where the current will bring it to...

This is one strange behaviour I don't quite understand for some mushroom.

Luckily my richodia is less unpredictable

i lost mine like that too....didn't bother bout it and one day it simply went missing and nvr found...

Have you check your water parameters, current & lightings.

Mushrooms detaching from the LR usually means that the conditions aren't good. If you don't look into this issues, you will not see any of them after sometime.

Generally mushroom needs clean water with gentle current. Most mushroom prefers indirect lights but Ricordia prefers strong lighting.

i nvr faced this problem at all, mebbe u should adjuz its positioning in the tank.

[flubberina13]

May have to do with its positioning. Did you placed it in direct flow of the current?

I have this problem. Seems like Mushroom don't like strong current. With my 3xTunze, it is blowing them out of extinction. I'm trying to reduce my flow to see if situation improves.

The water parameters seemed fine when i tested it. Sanity, Ph and NO3...

I placed the mushrooms near a direct current, a place where it gets lotsa light. Man... its freakin me out, a few start to 'leave' their home again...

But had relocated it to a more shady and less water flow location in the tank.

But will it be good if i place the rock on the sand instead? They got no where to drop to mah. haha

I scared they drop and swept str8 into teh anemone ah... scary...

[flubberina13]

Give them moderate to strong lights but less flow.

[gerald31]

i think you need to add strontium.

[Travy]

GEEEZZ!!!!

They dont seemed to be peelin off now...

I placed them at the bottom half of the tank.

Those 'detached' ones are also starting to stick on the the more

shaded areas.... PHEW!!!
