Mushrooms detaching into the sand

[WhoKnew]

Why is my blue mushrooms detaching from their rock in to the sand. They don't look like they are dying.

World domination? Mine used to detach to move to greener pastures if the lighting was too intense.

I had several mushrooms near the top of my tank. I increased my white LEDs intensity and they all detached. Did you change light fixtures or intensity?

 

[WhoKnew]

No, none of the above. They were mostly in a cave, I thought they weren't getting enough light. I just today moved them out a bit.

This makes sense as well.

Most mushrooms, if they are unhappy, will let go and take a ride in search of greener pastures. Mine get over crowded and even lose their heads sometimes!
