Hairy mushroom advice

Does this look like bleaching? It’s sat around 80 par… Bottom edge and side lighter colour, not noticed it before… May have already been there

Those blue discosoma shrooms could be irritating it causing it to retract like that.

How long has it been that way?

I highly doubt it's bleaching, mine will often retract looking exactly like yours when something ticks them off. They normally look 100% a couple hours later

Bought it from LFS as is, but I’ve noticed the colour on edge the last 4 days but again may have been like that and not picked it up…..

Discosoma cupping more that usual but think more of a flow issue as 80 should be enough…..

I’d say flow is low- medium with an occasional genital gustz…
