Are these mushrooms melting?

[Tryp72]

Just added this Golden Gonzo to my tank 2 days ago.  The mushroom is two heads and they are open but they look like they are just melting into the rockscape.  All the other corals in my tank have good extension and definition.  These are kind of just limp and lifeless.  To anybody familiar with these types of mushrooms, is this normal?

 

Thanks for looking

might be the spot.

too much light or too less. too much flow or too less.

 

or

 

just how the shroom is sitting on the plug.  it doesn't look sick. its open 

[Tryp72]

Ok..  I will just leave it there for a bit and see.  Hopefully it will perk up a bit.

Can you summarize the stats on your tank for us?   How are ca, alk, mg, no3, po4, s.g. and temp?  Anything else interesting?

[Tryp72]

Sure,

 

8 gallon tank

 

 Ca 420

KH 12

PO4 0.25

NO3 10

SG 1.025

Temp 77.8

PH 7.9

 

My first tank, has been running 1.5 months.  only 1 Yasha Gobi, the rest inverts and mostly soft corals.  weekly 2 gallon water changes.  Again,  All other corals look good.  zoanthids and firework cloves are actually producing more polyps.  The new mushroom remains open and flat against the rockscape.  maybe this is the way it should look and I'm just not used to it because it doesn't look like my other discosoma or rhodactis mushrooms.

It looks fine and happy to me. It is laying tightly on the plug and rock, but this maybe due to the flow of the tank. Give it a few days and see if it moves or spreads it’s skirt out.

When shrooms are happy,they flatten out and open up. It just looks happy to me.
