Mushroom ?

[sailfin]

My power went out for 16 hrs today!!! The temp. dropped from 80°F in my tank to 72°F. When I finally got power back my shrooms don't look so good. Is there a tell-tell sign that they are dead? These are my first corals and I would hate to loose them.
Keep a reefin' :happyfish

Mushrooms are the hardiest corals out there. I'd be surprised if they die. But if you see them melting away, then they're on their way out. Good luck. Give them a couple days to bounce back.

Well I know for a fact that mushrooms are the easiest corals out there. Anyone else have any suggestions??

Give them some time, I ordered some online in Feb(from another site), and when they came in they were freezing cold, with no heat pack in the box, but they made it ok.

He said hardiest, not hardest. Hardiest means durable - hard to kill.
