Looks more like an issue with lighting. Mine do this. How long have you had it? What type of lighting did it come from and what type do you have?

Might be good to also post your water parameters.

Thanx for the quick replies just got done testing params phos,nitrate,nitrite,ammonia, all fine with my drops test i have used kh was high cal was within 400 to 500 with the drops its kind of toughto read the color changes perfectly ph might be lil low but still at least 8 to 8.2-4

Lights are current orbit marine 46w and by mid day we put on the two bulb t5 with 54w actinic and 10000k bulb the shroom is close to front of tank unobstructed light on the substrate

Got it from lfs pretty sire had better lights there but mine has been fine for everything else so far

Here you go.....
Btw, you posted this in the wrong forum.
You might have more luck is a Team member paste it in the right forum.

A. Total water volume ( Please include sump, etc.)

B. What are your parameters? ( CA, ALK, PO4,Salinity, etc.)

C. Type of lighting. Please include age, watts, and bulb/ballast name.

D. Filtration method (Skimmer, GFO, DSB, etc.)

E. What types of corals do you keep other than SPS?

F. How long has the tank been running?

G. What are you dosing? Dosing schedule?

H. Which brand of salt are you using?

I. What brand of test kits are you employing?

J. What are you using for CA/ALK supplementation?

K. What are you using for flow? (Pump names, how many, placement, etc.)

I had the kessil a360we on my tank. I was ramping the intensity and ramped it too much at once and mine did this same thing. I've got 6 shrooms and they all had the little squiggly green things. I reduced the lights and the stuff went away after a couple of days. About 4 weeks ago I changed to the radion XR15 and they did the same thing but not as much as the first time.
How long have you had yours?

My led light being low wattage i think is set at max intensity but ramps up with the built in contoller and by "mid day" we turn on the t5s. Any suggestions as to what intensity for the leds?

Had the shroom for bout month and a half havent changed anything really right now buy saltwater from lfs 1.025 with my refractor calabrated with ro water to 0.0,

Had the same issue with mine, melted away eventually.
I think it was to much light since they were very high in the water column.

Update moved around the tank has bounced back and gotten much bigger
