Mushrooms split then die why?

[DEEPWATER]

most of my mushrooms are spliting but then dying ,why is this happening .Is there a reason for this or just nature .sometime one dies off ,or both it sux

Maybe something is stressing them into spliting??? and then the added stress just kills them??

Are your sure that they're spliting? as they could actually be dying and just breaking apart which makes them look like they're spliting.

 

[DEEPWATER]

nope ,spliting ,,they take about a wek .i see the spliting happening as they are fine for the week ,after they split ,boom they are die ,one of them at least

 

[inline6]

is it the laceration split (tearing of the shroom and leaving a bit behind) or is it splitting at the mouth?
i've read that laceration split is the result of stress.

 

[DEEPWATER]

no nt spliting at the mouth ,i dont think so ,looked more in the middle of the shroom

It's probably breaking up and lasting for a # of days and then dying off. When it split it should have a mouth or part of a mouth.

 

[DEEPWATER]

so why would the dumb thing split with no mouth ,,,and why would both pieces die off

Like Inline said it could be from stress. Condition caused it to go bad like to much light, water movement, another coral bothering it or poor water conditions.

water condition ,,great ,,placed at the bottom of tank on its own rock in the sand.its been at that location for 4 months since i moved up to the 6th fl,,always opened and only got bigger

Something probably stress it out and caused it to break. Some times things happen and it may have just been the coral time to go. Just look at your other mushrooms to see if they're ok, if they are then I wouldn't worry about it to much things like this do happen.
