ive put a poly filter in the sump and running over Seachem Cuprisorb to lose all the heavy metals. Also im dosing iodine and i will up my salt level.

do anyone have any idea what i can do?

Could be a lighting issue , also check clorimine in water . How are other coral looking
 
The mushroom still doesnt look good… idk whats wrong with my tank. All mushrooms except the ricordea arent doing good. I have lost multiple beautifull mushrooms last 2 moths. All other corals doing good.

if your no3 is 0, i would bring that up higher 3-10ppm. might not be the reason it lost its color, but everything else looks good

Sorry i see now i made a mistake. My no3 nitrates are 37,4. Weeks ago it was around 10-20 but then the mushroom also didnt do good.
 
Noo… im planning on buying a seneye to know what the par is on the sandbed etc… do u recommend this par meter?
You might want to reach out to your LFS or area club (if you have one) to see if you can rent one instead of buying one. There is also an app called Photone that you can use (I use it for regular par checks after checking with my LFS’s seneye) that is within ballpark numbers of what a par meter would give you.
