Are we talking mushroom as in Actinodiscus species, or the larger Sarcophyton?

Usually salts come with the most minerals in them so if someone adds extra stuff it maybe strontium or iodine. But as for the mushroom don't worry about it the could have caught some food and was eating or its just doiing its own thing I don't know but don't worry I'm pretty sure its no big deal.

heres a pic as u can see 1 of the mushrooms is bear its been like this now with no polups out for 2-3days its also bent over and looks lifeless

wrong place

This should be in the marine inverts and corals section

Oh, thats no big deal. The second one looks as though it's preparing to shed. A normal process especially when the coral is new to your tank.

While I know that frilly mushrooms are available I must admit that what is shown in the picture is a leather toadstool. Anymore pictures available to be sure??
