Looks like I'm losing a few fuzzy mushrooms are dying!! Someone told me they may be splitting. They are very hardy coral and all my other corals are doing great including sps, hammers, torches , etc..! What you think!? They turned from normal to this in a day!!

It looks perfectly fine to me. You might be overdoing it with the light, but I doubt it. I have literally-accidentally (I'm not a mad scientist, for any who keep track of my "accidents!")-ripped one in half before, and it grew back as two new ones.

Nope. I did add a tiny clown goby and lyretail anthia. But don't think they are messing with it. Next question is if they are dead are they toxic to my tank? Should I try scrapping the dead one off the rock?

I would leave it alone. Mine get annoyed for unknown reasons periodically but always come back in a day or two. It may just be irritated by one of the new fish or something.

It actually looks a little better today. And they are just opening up from the lights

My green clown goby moved straight on to my fluffy shrooms, they could be sulking?
I have about 10 or 15 now, can't say I have noticed them look like that when splitting but could be.

I have a green clown goby also. When I put him in he went under the hairy mushroom rock. THat may be it? I haven't seen him since. He is tiny and my tank is huge
