help with i.d.

[Buckskin]

Could I get a little help with this? The attached pics are of my green striped shrooms. The lower mushroom has not been looking as healthy as the rest lately. He stays relatively small (used to get twice as big) and shrivels up when the halides come on. Yesterday the current flipped half of him over and I noticed this smooth grey thing under him. I've seen the anchor points on some of the other shrooms and they just look like..well, mushroom stems. Is this just another variety of shroom or something parasitic or what?

Third try!

hmm... cant really tell from the pic, any ways can you get a closer pic of it?

[Jrmass]

Can't really tell what you are directing us too... Everything looks like Coraline Algae to me.

Unfortunately my camera won't focus any closer than this. In the center of the pic there is a mushroom that's partly on the rock and partly on the sand. Its left side is lifted up exposing a grey, flat object that's stuck to the rock. I feel like I jumped the gun on this because I now believe it's just the foot of the shroom. Still not sure why it shrivels up for a few hours every day while the others don't. Thanks.

Sometimes they just get touched by something and will just naturally shrivel... Nothing to be concerned about.

Looks like the foot to me, you should be fine Dan.
