    So I'm still pretty new to this saltwater thing and not sure his normal this is. I've got a rock with 8 mushrooms on it and have had it a few weeks. Normally all shrooms are big and happy looking. The last 2 days one or two of them will be shriveled up, and not always the same one. What coils be going on? Most look great, it's just one or two.

    Thanks, I had assumed that which was why I was looking for an answer to what may be irritating them. They've been happy again for a few days now so I'll keep an eye on them.

    Sorry :( My Superman Shrooms do the exact same thing. Never been able to find out why. But they always bounce back and multiply like crazy :)

    Ok, I won't worry too much then. They're all back to full size and are so big. Much bigger than they were in the fish store even. I'm very happy with them so I want them happy.

    Did they just shrivel? Or turn white edges also?
