i just move my mush rooms to a new tank and i dont think they like it, they are in the fuge with enough water movement and an overall water quality better than what they were in.

i looked at them today and they have what look like blisters on the uderside of them

any ideas?

They aren't trapped microbubbles, are they? I don't think I've seen this before except shrooms that are naturally bumpy :)

That's what I was thinking too Len...I think even the backsides are bumpy or "blistery" in appearance

i've had a sarcophython that had blister like appearances on it's 'stalk'.
they were very abundant and about 1/4" in dia.

come to think of it i have had Xenia do the same thing.
i am not sure what triggered it but the corals never seemed to respond negatively.

the bubbles are almost clear (the skin has streched so far). it looks like a blister you would get if you touched a hot stove.
they are not traped bubbles and it looks like its dyin
these blisters are just about a 1/4 dia also

what species of coral is this?
"mushroom" could have at least two different meanings.

What color is the blister? I hope it's not red or maroon is it? (Flat worm)
Flatworms don't munch on shrooms do they?

i see this in my sps corals sometimes. it looks like little air sacs under the skin but it has never done any harm. i dont know what it is too, but i dont worry about it anymore.
