    Ahhh gotcha! I placed two new packs of carbon, and moved the shrooms to a lower lit area. The one set already looks much better, the other one might need more time. I did take another look into the toadstool and it is definitely possible there is a parasite embedded within the toadstool. The more I look I can notice a slight bulge in that area with a small hole on the bottom of the leather right below the area. Almost as if the toadstool was going to split with the edge having a small crevice forming. Interested to see what happens. I will post updates and thanks once again for the help.

    Several things can happen. Did u acclimate ur corals to leds prior to ur lighting change ? Like previously mentioned carbon and gfo and placement in the tank can take precedent as well. If they're doing better in shaded area Andy just introduced leds the they're probably in led shock as t-5's etc aren't a direct and continuous lumen and can burn or shock them basic rule and correct me if I'm wrong fellow members is start leds 50%or less to acclimate em to leds. Wether or not their low wattage or par. Hope this helps ya and good luck. Let us know if u need anything
