    I just moved this mushie> Its getting less light now and it is curling up a little bit. I heard that when they do this its a sign they need more light. Is this true? Should i move him out into the light more. I really like the way it looks with the amount of light its getting.
    thanks

    What type of lights do you have? Sometimes mushrooms close up into a ball when they have captured something to eat, did you feed the tank recently? They generally don't need a ton of light, but can't live in the shape :)

    My shrooms curl up less dramatically when ever I move them. How long has it been since you moved them?

    My floridas close daily after lights go out and often when something has bothered them (like a hermit or cleaner shrimp). I don't have any Yumas, but if it was my ric I would give it a few more days and then move it higher if it still looks unhappy.
