1. Why would your mushies detach from LR by themself? This is a problem.

2. No record of brain eating mushie have been reported. But every coral have their own way of defending themselves like toxic, so monitor your brain further.

Coral doesn't have eye thus their basic instinct is to swallow anything that drops onto their mouth.

ya.. agree with neokn. I have see few instances green button zoos eat loose bits of grape algae in my tank that happen to catch. And also the brittle worms that happen to fall off from that little bunch of algae transferred from sump to tank....

PS: good feng shui place...

look out for coral waste = poo = mushies in next few days...

thats means your brain coral is damn hungry. LOL

Corals has some sensors on the tentacles and cells. Maybe this mushroom has attached some coral food and sensed by the brain.

I think you better monitor
