A couple months ago I purchased a green Ricordea mushroom, and per what I gathered online I put it near the bottom of my tank, centered (with what I feel is medium to low flow and lighting), which I was thinking would be ideal.
The mushroom currently looks like this, with small and/or absent tentacles..
What is going on? Is it bleaching or just not happy because of lack of food or water quality? Too much or too little flow? I should also add that when I purchased it, it had (and still has) 2 mouths.
Here are my parameters:
Nitrates 10 ppm
Phosphate 0.0 ppm (working on better test kit currently using API
Calcium 460
Magnesium 1400
pH 8.2
dKH 7.5
As for light I'm using a reefbreeders nano at 30-40% blue/violet with 1-5% white.
I feed/spot feed 2-3x week with reef chili and recently started mysis.
I recently moved it to a low flow and lighting area if that was the issue, has been about a week with no changes.
Any help would be most appreciated thanks!
