I upgraded my 30 gallon tank to a 90 gallon tank. My mushrooms ricordea have not open since I did the transfer. I have had them in the new tank for about 3 weeks now. My mushroom corals open but they look melted on the Rock.

This is what it looked like in my 30 gallon.

How did you make the transfers? New water? Sand? Might be in a mini cycle? Maybe someone with more experience can chime in...
 
New water and sand. It could be. I redirected my PH it might of had too much flow. Hopefully this works.
 
it looks like much stronger lighting on the larger tank. Soft corals like these will open more to expose as much surface area to light as possible unless there is plenty. Also, if not properly acclimated to stronger lighting, they could act like this.
This could be a factor, if it's not parameters.
