Hi All,

I have a 60 gallon mixed reef tank with lots of different corals. Mostly softies but some hard ones two. Over the course of the last several weeks I am slowly losing my mushroom corals. It starts with them looking a little funny one day (a little shriveled up) and then being almost completely gone (almost melted) in the next day or two. It started with a group of two, then hit one other one about six inches from the first, and is now happening to a third one on the opposite side of the tank. My water parameters are fine and no other corals are impacted (yet). Is there a pest of sorts that has a liking for mushrooms or should I be looking for something else?

I appreciate any help!

When the lights go out, try to see with a flashlight if there is something feeding on them on or near the stalks. I had a problem with amphipods eating my zoas but i doubt that's the case in your situation but could possibly be something.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
