A while back my daughter asked a question about the clowns having some particular behaviour. This morning the mom died. The dad don't seem healthy. The mom developed some kind of rash (?) on her back. Kind of like her scales were flaking off on her back. Now the dad has the same on his belly.

Additionally one of her mushrooms is doing a strange thing as well. Where the mouth is is now a hole. You can see the rock through this hole. 24-36 hours later and the hole was much larger. The rest of the mushroom still looks healthy and green. It's one of those Hairy Green mushrooms. It's about three inches across with a quarter inch hole in the middle where rock is clear and clean and highly visible. The edges of the interior hole seem smooth to bumpy in places, but not ragged. I had thought that the shroom was dividing on its own due the huge amount of growth we've seen since putting it into her tank. Not so sure anymore.

Temp is 80.5, am ~ 0, trite ~0, trate ~ 0.

Thoughts?

Strange about the clownfish. Do you have any pictures? It kind of sounds like ick.

Sounds like the mushroom is just splitting. Mine do that fairly often.
