Wilting anthelia

missyfeydra · Nov 3, 2022

Hi all...my waiving hand anthelia has been doing awesum in my tank until last night. It balled its little fist up and looked angry. This morning all its tendrils are back out but it looks deflated. See pics before and after. Could the mushrooms be taking over? I just did a 5 gallon water change in hopes it will help but im worried. First pic is today. Second is yesterday.

Some mushroom can really irritate other corals.

Mushroom next to mine and no effect.
Assure moderate light and medium water flow. Best at mid-tank and assure phosphate ad salinity not elevated
