How do I do that?Zoas and palys are funny, I've had very rare zoas that did amazing for a very long time then closed up for unknown reasons. I would move the mushroom from there. I try to isolate all mushrooms from any other coral.
I put mine on the bottom of the tankHow do I do that?
My water is good, I check it often. How do I check the light short of meter?If they are indeed Palythoa you should place them on their own rock and isolate that so they don't invade the whole system.
Your aquarium is young and to me seems like the problem there is either too much light or water quality (new system).
Check your params and make sure the light isn't too strong.
If params are ok and light not too strong just give them some time to addapt.

Seems like they were under very low light and now they've got too much light.Does that brown "stuff" rub off of the stalks of the palys when you brush it with your fingers? Also to me the extended stalk and mushroom shape tell me not enough light.
When I bought the rock they where under a dim blue light. I honestly did not pay much attention to them because I was looking at the mushroom. I should have known to pay better attention. Rookie mistake that I won’t repeat. I won’t be buying from this lfs in the future because of some other poor advise and lack of information. I have a better lfs closer that I trust more. But for now I need to figure out what to do to make everything on the rock happy. So I removed the mushroom and set the rock lower in the tank. We will see.Seems like they were under very low light and now they've got too much light.

Good... they will take a while to look very nice and open, but in a day or 2 they will show off better.When I bought the rock they where under a dim blue light.
