Jawbreaker Bleaching?

[Kobin]

Hi I put in a jawbreaker last week and not sure if its bleaching/stressed out. It attached to a plug already and the foot looks healthy. I moved it from its cup where it took a few days attaching to a low flow medium light area. My two other shrooms are fine and coloring up (Juggernaut Bounce and Superman)

Tank Parameters are:
8.2 pH
0 Ammonia
0 Nitrite
0 - 5 Nitrate
7.4 Alk
400 Calcium
1250 Mag

Here is a pic of the shroom under kessil 360WE. It's the white spots in the middle I'm worried about. Thanks all

2 months cycled with chaeto. I'm not running any carbon or other additives. All the other coral were added 3 weeks ago with no signs of stress/bleaching. My guess would be the flow since I left it in a Tupperware on the sand bed so it can stick to the frag plug

Maybe flow. From what I've seen and just an idea is corals tend to have a harder time acclimating to newer tanks. I wouldn't worry to much at this point as mushrooms are hearty. I will say that sometimes they can be temperamental as one shroom in my tank grew great for 6 months and shriveled one day let go and fell into a hole in my live rock never to be seen again! Just give it a little bit of time, don't move it a lot and let it accclimate. Also, they do like some phosphates and nitrates. They grow best with a little bit "dirtier" water

Yeah that's what I was thinking too. I added chaeto to get some copepods going and not worry about my ammonia or nitrates/phosphates going too high if I overfeed. Thank you!
