Minmay Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I dont know what happened. Params are normal. One day it was fine. The next day it was small. I dont know why. I've had it for 5mo and 14 days. I moved it to a more shaded area but its been in the same area for as long as I had it. Any ideas? Thank u. Quote Link to comment

sapling Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 my ric florida shrinks up a bit at night, I dont know exactly, but maybe your yuma just needs to adjust to the light? Quote Link to comment

Nah its not a light issue from what I know of. Its been thriving in the same spot for months. I didnt change the light or the schedule. Ive read that sometimes mushrooms just shrink. ?

It might be making a baby, or working up to a big poop. 1 Quote Link to comment

I’ve seen mine shrink up then get huge and then crawl away leaving a baby behind. It’s weird. I would watch for signs of deterioration..... guts out, looking slimy, things like that.

Lugmos12 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 My yuma shrinks once in a while. It split once already and is currently in the process of splitting again. Quote Link to comment

Im use to my corals shrinking when its lights out but the way it deflated looked different plus it stayed small even after the lights came on. Hopefully its just malin babies. That would be cool but I hope I didnt piss it off by dipping it Quote Link to comment
sam_the_reefer Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The tentacles still look puffy in the pic though. What's next to it? I wish mine stayed small. Quote Link to comment

Superman mushroom and a ric but I moved the yuma to a shaded area cuz I thought maybe it was PO'd about something. Idk lol Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Moving it often will tick it off and it will shrink up. Corals somwtimes shrink up for no apparent reason and it can be for days. Quote Link to comment

Its still small but it hasnt gotten any smaller so maybe thats good sign? I dont know what to do to bring it back the way it was. That was the largest shroom I have and the prettiest.

HIppieRose Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 All of my mushrooms have shrunk to dime size a few months ago. Some of them turned to slim and were gone. Still have some left. Still hoping they well bounce back. 1 Quote Link to comment

I dont think its gonna come back to the way it was. No slime yet tho. Quote Link to comment
