Suggsreef Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Bought this mushroom and glued the rubble under it to a plug. It’s been like this a few days now. Including a pic of before I bought it. 1 Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 It does not look happy. How high up is it? How much light exposure is it getting? It may also be getting too much flow. Mushrooms are weird and extremely hardy. 1 Quote Link to comment

Suggsreef Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 I can put it down in the sand. It’s high up. My other shrooms near it are happy 1 Quote Link to comment

He may just be used to the sand bed and not frag plug rack 2 Quote Link to comment
Ratvan Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 You could always frag it while it is like this? 1 Quote Link to comment

Alternatively if you can get some rubble/crushed coral in a tupperware pot I would place the shroom in this and watch it carefully. 1 Quote Link to comment
Suggsreef Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Set him sideways in the sand or fill a small container and put the plug in the container and fill it with sand so there is sand leveled with the shroom? as it is glued to the plug 2 Quote Link to comment
