Hello! I just got home today and saw that my mushroom looks like it got burnt or eaten by something. Yesterday it looked just fine but today it looks super stressed and burnt on the side. Could this be my peppermint shrimp?

Looks retracted. Assure its getting both moderate light and moderate to medium water flow. Too much flow will cause it to lean and too little will retract the polyps

Yesterday was triple the size and was fully open, now it’s secreting some slimy thing and is all shriveled up

yeah I just don’t think that’s the problem since it was fully open and healthy just yesterday. I just fed it right now and you can see it a little better.
