White Spots On Mushrooms?

[cam78]

I have purple shrooms and one of them appears to have, or has goten a white spot. Does anyone know what this is? Is it going to kill the shrooms? Any help is appreciated.

It may be bleaching. What kind of lighting do you have it under and how high in the tank? Also, double check your parameters and tests.

they are PC's 1 96 watt actinic 1 96 watt 10,000k. The coral is pretty high up.

If you just got them and didn't light acclimate em, then you need to move them down to the bottom. I guess i should of asked how big your tank was. Mushrooms don't like tons of light, try to find a shadier spot for em. See what happens.

My guess is possibly white flatworms? I have them on a couple of my mushrooms. Can you post a pic?

Here are some pictures bad quality because I suck at taking tank pics. The white blurry spot is what im talking about.

It looks like bleaching to me. Try moving them further down in the tank, and make sure that your water circulation is good throughout the tank.

I moved them down a little. Do you know what kind of shrooms they are or are they just "purple shrooms"? I assume they don't require that much light?
