This morning when I went to work my Duncan and this superman mushroom were fine. I stopped by the house at lunch ad saw this. Please help me and ID this mess and help me with a plan of action. Everything else on the reef is fine.

I don't know why the images are sideways. Sorry for that.

What corals do you have near it? Have a picture of whole tank? From pictures looks like they may have been severely stung by sweepers
 
Is this the predator or is this what's left of your shroom?
The larger blob was a Duncan Coral with about 10 heads on it. The smaller blob was a superman mushroom about the size of a silver dollar. Here is a image of what it looked like 2 days ago. dang this one is upside down. Its between the two polyps. by the Favia

Before dino took out most of my tank my favia went 4+ toward a duncan
 
Culprit looks like the favia. While their feeders don't not extend at a distance more than an inch, they can do some serious damage. Relocation the surrounding coral or the favia itself is your best bet. Additionally, lights look a tad bright. Run whites at39% max and blues about 64% and you get earn some nice colors from the coral.
