110g tank; have 16 fish, 2 BTE, goniopora, cloves, and red, green, and orange mushrooms. Everything seems to be fine but the red mushrooms. They were 1.5-2" when I bought them. Now they are barely. 75". They are on lower middle part of tank at the same level as the green ones.

Nitrate 25
Nitrite 0
Ph 8.2
Ammonia 0
Calcium 600

Any ideas?
 
Hi! Need a bit more info.

Do you know your alkalinity? How about phosphate levels? Salinity? Magnesium?

Any idea of the PAR where the mushrooms are? Pictures of your tank as well as age of tank would also be super helpful for the community to help you think through whatever is going on.
 
Salinity 1.025
Don't have tests for other 3

Tank was up for 5 years, then moved. Need up 4 months now.

Since then, the red mushrooms have beeb moved down 8"
