Where did my mushroom go?

vonodie1 · 10/04/2008, 12:51 PM

Okay, last night before my lights went out-my mushroom was fully opened and looked like an umbrella.... Well, this morning when the lights came on it was GONE!

ALL of my other corals are wide open, my skunk shrimp comes out, my neon goby is just fine and snails are moving around. It even looks like there was a pod explosion.

Is it possible that the mushroom got mad because of a snail and let loose to float somewhere else-or did it just disintegrate? The rock it was on is still where I put it.

It prob. let go and moved. they will do that if they don't like where they are. flow or light is what it will be looking for either less or more of one or the other.

they do this stacy, i have 2 colonies, some decided to move because they were not happy, some stayed and thrived, its possible its around the back of the rock somewhere, i doubt very much it has perished, its there somewhere

That is good to know... I just can't see up in the rocks. It probably didn't like where it was as it was waving around a LOT... I ended up getting it as a freebee and it has kind of grown on me.

Thanks
