Just wondering....

[honeypot]

My setup is about complete for now...36G with 10G sump/refugium, about 65-70lbs of LR. The tank has been setup for about 3 months now, cycled with LR. Lighting : Nova Extreme T-5 Fixtures w/Lunar Lights; Slimpaq 460nm Actinic and 10000°K T-5 HO lamps. Coralife Super Skimmer...nothing but R/O water in the tank.
Water Parameters are ideal:
ph-8.3
ammonia-0
nitrites-0
SG-1.024-1.025
Inhabitants:
2 Percula Clownfish
1 Bicolor Blenny
1 Damsel (tiny)
1 Mandarin Goby (who is very healthy)
1 Yellow Tang
1 Cleaner Shrimp
1 Coral Banded Shrimp
1 Fiddler Crab
1 Porcelain Crab
1 Sally Light Foot
30 Assorted Hermits
4 Snails
2 Brittle Stars
Ricordia Mushroom
Pulsing Xenia
Long Tentacle Anemone
Everything is going great, we have a mass supply, of copepods, from sump/fuge to tank, the goby is incredible healthy and happy. My only problem seems to be my ricordia mushroom, this morning it's detatched itself from it's rock...Should I be worried about this? Is there something I should do to prevent it getting beat up by current or other inhabitants? And is it just positioning itself somewhere new? The mushroom is very small...like a frag.. and it seems to have 2 "mouths" ^^.... and information would be gladly appreciated.
Thank you kindly.

you're about to get flamed for having a tang & mandarin in there, as for the other part, how's your nitrates?

Nitrates-0

don't let the ricordia get beat up by current, put it somewhere the current won't move it, eventually it will attached to a rock.

Sadly another live and learn situation. People will tell you Tangs need a 6' tank to thrive happily and a mandarin needs a large tank with lots of LR and copepods.
