I was wondering if my mushroom coral (Actinodiscus) is dying.?

16 November 2008 Comments

It stays partially open but it is detaching itself from the rock that it lives on. I have four other mushrooms on the same rock and they seem to be fine. Also I have one pink tip anemone and one green bubble tip anemone that seem to be ok. My nitrates are a little high but everything else checks out ok. I really don’t know what to do. I’ve read that they will sometime move but I don’t know how true that is. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    you can attach the mushroom back to the rock by using a rubber band or coral glue.

    Don’t attach it to anything with anything.
    Mushrooms DO move and they DO reproduce quickly.
    I have 2 different colonies of mushrooms in my reef tank and both have had the odd mushroom move to other rocks and both are reproducing on other rocks.
    Just leave it do what it wants to do.
    No problems.
