Mushroom bleaching

[Saltwater_hobbiest]

All of my other corals are doing amazing but the last three weeks my Rhodactus green mushroom coral has looked like this. What should I do to get it back to its real size and green color? Below is a picture of the two mushrooms.

Do you have parameters ready?

I’d try lower light

Here are my parameters.

 

[Kristopher Conlin]

1.4 nitrate and 0.02 phosphate are very low nutrients for mushrooms.

1.4 nitrat ve 0.02 fosfat mantarlar için çok düşük besin değerleridir.

Mantarların ideal besin değerleri nelerdir?

 

[Kristopher Conlin]

I keep my nutrients around 15 to 20 nitrate and .08ppm to .1ppm phosphate. Mushrooms can take higher levels but you need to be careful you don't fuel algea blooms. Finding the right balance for your tank is key. Every tank is different.

What has changed lately?
Lighting schedule? feeding schedule? Equipment.? New fish or inverts?

 

[Staghorn]

Some change probably led to the bleaching

Is there a way for the mushrooms to get back to there original size and green color back ?
