Hey guys. Got this mushroom polyp from Mike (melosu58) back in the summer and it's been great ever since then. As you can see in the one picture, it's been multiplying like crazy and from the 2 polyps Mike gave me I have around 10 now. Anyways, this particular polyp used to get HUGE and in the past few days has been looking worse and worse. Today I came home from work and this is what it looked like.
Are the other mushrooms bothering it? Is it just trying to move to a new home? Is is just trying to duplicate some more and it's out of room to move to? It's weird. If you look in the pictures, along the thin part it looks like some stringy white stuff is coming out of the coral too.
I'm about to leave tonight for the weekend and I can have my parents monitor it for me but they really can't do anything about it. Is it dying or do you guys think it will be okay? I've seen mushrooms spread like this, but never drop off and hang and look so sickly like that.
My water parameters aren't the best. ammonia and nitrite is 0 but the trates are around 30 or 40. Need to do a water change. Everything else is fine and holding steady for months now. The only change I have made recently is that I removed the phosban from my tank because it is exhausted and I don't have the extra cash to get anymore yet.
Thoughts?
Many thanks!
