Mushroom Disease?

[cyro]

Have you ever heard or seen any disease on mushrooms? my mushrooms are started to dying. it looks like the goniopora brown jelly infection and they are branching.
water parameters are stable and standart.
any idea pls?

have you added anything recently that could have brought in an infection or bacteria?

 

[cyro]

no, nothing. it jumped the next rock and is killing xenias also in that rock. what do you thing is fresh water bath could be a solution?

i don't typically agree to the freshwater dips because it further stresses out a coral that is already stressed out. it may be a good solution to killing the nasty stuff killing your corals, but it is a stressful event for the coral.

if you do a FW dip, make sure the water has the same pH and temp as your aquarium.

What type of lighting do you have? How long have you had the shrooms; they can have trouble under pc lighting, too much build up of, I believe, oxygen in their tissues causes a caustic reaction due to the uv from the pc lighting

I had trouble with shrooms in my first tank, had only 10,000k pc lighting and did not use filtered water, they eventually shriveled away to nothing

You could try moving them to a shadier area for some time, but again all depends on your setup???

also, check your salinity. mine crept up on me and all my rics and shrooms melted.

I have seen other corals and anemones sting them and cause this type of reaction.

I do not agree with the statement above about uv lighting from PCs.
