Shrooms and Worms?


Anyone ever hear or see this?

My shrooms have started to pull in, not opening as much. I shaded them some more moved the flow, nothing.

The blue spotted shrooms look like they are wilting. The greens are changing color. Kinda black with gold deep gold stripes. I look closer and notice by the mouth tiny little white worms.

I pull the rock give them a FW dip and they look like they are gaging these things out.

Mkelly,
what you are seeing is not worms. Someone else can give you a better idea of what these white curly threads are, but my shrooms did the same thing when I frist recieved them, and again during my tank crash. Check every paramater of your water, and make sure that nothing is out of whack, make sure nothing is bothering the shrooms. How much current is hitting them? Has anything in your tank changed recently?

If all of your shrooms are doing this it is a sign that something is probably out of whack.

HTH...

Dave
