I have a blue mushroom colony and one of the polyps is secreting a stringy ooze out of it. It is shriveled up...at first i thought it was splitting but i'm not so sure anymore. Anyone know what's going on?

What color is the ooze?

Assuming the ooze is white, it means your mushroom is unhappy. This is where we need more information on your tank...

 

size

inhabitants

flow rate

sal, temp, pH, ni, na, am, etc

 

most importantly:

how long has this been happening?

when did you get the shrooms?

what have you changed in your tank before the shroom started acting up?

It's possible it got torn by a fish, hermits, rock falling on it, etc. They shrink up and ooze when that happens.

 

Another possibility, do you have any more aggressive corals close to it that could be stinging it?

Not to close to it.....it actually dissapeared completley yesterday. The other mushrooms on the rock seem fine though.
