I bought a Saint Thomas mushroom about two weeks ago. It is not doing well. I have it in a tank dedicated to Florida and Caribbean species. I have flower nems and ricorida that are doing well., but it is not. I currently have it in a mushroom cage because it was moving off the plug. The picture below is when I bought it and now it is half that size.

I would like to know if I should take some action.? Should I try a iodine dip Or something else.

That doesn't look bad. It looks better than mine but I accidently glued mine upside down, so it's still protesting. LOL Try lowering it away from the light maybe? Really - just let it settle in. You're doing great.

Try giving a little more light and see what it does. How long has it been ing the dark?
May also not like being cramped in that container.
Looks like a fairly decent sized shroom. My St Thomas loves light.
Low flow
