What is this white lookin stringy stuff on my hairy mushrooms..is it some kinda parasite..Is that why maybe they havent opened up in a long time.
Or is it the mushroom falling apart..they have looked this same way for like 2weeks

tank is fine
ph 8.1
ammonia 0
trite 0
trate 5
1.025 SG
Everything else in my tank is perfect, Sun Coral, frogspawn, toadstool, the regular mushrooms with the blue dots are fine. Candycane is great...its just these hairy mushrooms took a dump for some odd reason.
I have Orbit 260w light on them as well...
Temp 79

I have had them in everypart of my tank over the last 2weeks.
High up on rocks, low on the sand, high flow, low flow....all the same

I may be way off, but I had a colony of mushrooms get decimated by flatworms once, and those things on your mushrooms look a lot like the flatworms that I had.

it looks to me to be there digestive( sp) stuff, when you frag mushrooms that stuff fall out, do you feed them anything or just light
