I just panic, lol, only had it for like 5 days . 1st 2 days it was huge , so probably just acclimating like you said. ThanksHave you adjusted your lights or have your parameters changed much recently? I had a watermelon mushroom shrink up for over a week not long ago and couldn't really figure out why. I hadn't changed my lighting and I double-checked all my parameters without finding any issues. It eventually bounced back with a vengeance and has since dropped 2 babies in less than a month. As others have indicated, mushrooms are nearly bulletproof and as long as it's not super closed up for a long time, odds are it will recover without issue.
One other thing you might check is if there are any pests underneath it like a vermetid snail or hydroid. They could potentially cause it to close up.

Thank you . All new to me as I’ve only had fresh water tanks. Sooooo much to learn. I keep hearing 6months. Is this when the tank settles or something ?I certainly sympathize with that reaction. For the first 6 months or so anytime any of my corals looked off I would freak out and worry that something was terribly wrong with my tank. Since then I've tried to be more patient and give the coral a few days to a week to bounce back, and in most cases they do. I would only panic if all of your corals are looking bad at once as that typically means something is wrong with the tank as a whole.
Had to look up micro fauna, lol. Learning a lot through this group . ThanksNot settling...maturing...takes a good year for all the micro fauna to build up and stabalize...after 6 months most tanks have a good start.
