    SO, I don't know what happened. Last night, the corals seemed fine. Then today, I turn the lights on and it looks like one of my green florescent mushroom corals was vaporized. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/crazy.gif It is nothing more than a stringy brown goo. See the picture below. I had the anemone move past it a few days ago. Don't know if that would have anything to do with it. Any ideas what is going on?
    Green mushroom at the top is another and what it looked like last night. Now, it is the stringy brown goo in the middle of the pic. (sorry it is a bit hard to see.)

    a view from a bit further away. (again the vaporized former green mushroom was below the green one in the photo.)

    Good chance the nem got it, allthough I've considered mushrooms to be pretty resilient it looks like its toast.

    It is not the end of the world if the nem got to it. I just want to make sure that it is not some sort of coral disease that is going to destroy all my corals. (I wonder how much this is going to mess up my water specs.)
