    Corals grow but not the shrums

    I think shrooms can get too much light. I also think you may want to consider the light that was available to them prior to your purchasing them. Perhaps too drastic a change is giving them a "sunburn". Try moving them to a lower or shady spot in the tank. I also got some zooplex by kent...
