Mushrooms need more room? Identify mystery..

[donjnavarro]

I've been thinking that my mushrooms are getting a little crowded. The started off smaller and now they seem to be covering each other and trying to get on top all the time.

 

Should i spread them out?

 

 

also, can anyone identify whats underneath the bottom left mushroom? its some kind of cylinder with some yellow stuff around it thats slowly getting bigger.

You could move them if you want, but generally speaking, if a mushroom isn't happy it'll detach to look for a home elsewhere. I usually find little baby mushrooms on the sand in my tank and then put them on the rock where they rapidly attach themselves.

 

as for the thing next to the mushroom - in the picture it looks green. Could be algae or, from your description, a small tube worm and sponge.

therylook happy to me. nice and big and flat. if a shroom is not happy it will e3ither detach and float away, or it can extend itself up into a trumpet shape in an effort to get more light.
