what's up with my Zoas and Mushrooms

I just noticed my mushrooms shriveled up and my Zoas have been closed up more and more. All my other corals look healthy and my parameters are all within spec.

My mushrooms still have that stringy white stuff on them. Kind of like a popped pimple

The weird thing is I havent changed anything. These guys have been under the same LEDs for a few months now. No change in the lighting schedule or intensity

I feed every other day. 1 cube of plankton, brine shrimp, or marine cuisine. I soak it in some tank water and add 1 drop of garlic xtreme. Every 2 days I feed reef roids in the water column no real direct feedings to the corals unless my Duncan catches something solid floating by

 

Everything else seems healthy just as the day before. My shrooms have lost that stringy stuff but haven't opened up all the way to cover up all the rock their on.

 

I did notice these weird snails

My tank has always ran a little warm 79-81. South Texas heat and at this end of the house it's the warmest. I have black curtains and the ceiling fan on during the day. I even added 2 more auxiliary fans to my nano cube hood

I wish I knew. Its what I am trying to figure out

Those are guts. Also, your water is too hot. Try lowering your heater. I know some people like to keep their water in the high 70s and low 80s but it's best to run it between 74 and 78. I live in Louisiana and I can keep mine around there.
