Ok, my nitrate and nitrite levels where a little high a day or so after it started it looked funny, i changed the water and it is back to normal.
I think it may be splitting. i have had it for maybe 3 months, it was about 6 inches across, and today i can see the rock under it through the gashlike area that the white fleshy stuff is. it has been like this for almost a week, the opening has gotten bigger each day.
I have seen the defense threads, i have the tank in my dorm at school and when i moved it for break all my mushrooms had threads from being held, the white stuff now seems more like it is the inside of the mushroom.
Also....diffent coral issue, my gorgaina looks like it is "shedding" a layer of skin. all the ployups are still out and it is normal color, just has thin layers of skin peeling off it. I got this one a few days ago, kinda an impulse buy ( i know bad me) and i havent had a chance to do any real research about it.
Thanks for all your help. :happyfish
