Leather mushroom help

[ljwillyl]

Hi could someone please help tell me if my mushroom will be okay?

He fell backwards and is now browning and appears to be seperating at the stalk.

It was new about a week ago i placed him inside. Appears to be sulking but has polyp extension.

Do you have a picture of when it was healthy? It looks like a toadstool rather than a mushroom. what are your water parameters? how old is the tank? Toadstools like good flow, they will slump in low flow area's. What kind of lighting do you have?

This is when it went in tank is 2 months started with natural seawater.

My alk is low currently working in increasing was 6.2 this morning. It dropped from 7.8 to 4 2 within a week

Phos is 0.02 (working on increasing this and nitrates)

Its got decent flow there right next to a gyre

That is a toadstool leather coral, they can sometimes sulk when changed to a new tank. It likes good amount of flow and medium light. It looks like it used to be green but now its brown? What kind of lighting do you have?

Hi sorry for the late response.

Hes still green on the face but he has drooped backwards. I have 3x redsea RL90s

He appears to be seperating from the lower part of the foot and looks to be getting newer white parts at the base of the head

Will he recorrect himself so that the toadstool will face the lights?
