What is wrong with my hairy mushrooms??

[Hectorg214]

My hairy mushrooms have been closed for over a month and have not even opened once. This is what they look like.

hi, parameter's ?
how tall is tank, too much light ??

 

[Hectorg214]

Parameters are all stable. It's a 72 bowfront and for light I use a fluval marine light and a Coralife T5 dual light. The T5 stays on for about 5 hours.

 

[fishguy242]

if possible try shading them,they seem to be bleaching.

 

[Hectorg214]

These are currently my light settings on the fluval light. Should I layoff the T5 light for awhile?

 

[fishguy242]

no, not if all is doing ok, change is not good.
i do see a few other polyps doing well.

 

[Hectorg214]

How do I shade them?

 

[fishguy242]

can you move rock ?
add something above ? like overhang ?
can you post Full tank shot?

What are your actual parameters? ‘They are all stable’ is meaningless. It appears that they’re bleached, Need to know your exact parameters to be able to help. In general these are very hardy, can handle less than pristine water conditions, and can handle both low and higher light. Something is pretty seriously off if they are bleaching (don’t think it’s the light as the palythoa next to them looks fine).
