"Blue" Mushroom problems

Hi,

I purchased a colony of Blue Mushrooms from Blue Zoo. Anyways they were blue at first, but then they turned purple:



Is there any possible chance that they will change blue again? Does it have something to do with how much light I'm giving them?

Any advice is warmly welcome

Thanks!

I have the same ones and their color changes depending upon lighting conditions.

Maybe if I left the actinics on a little longer?

You could try it, but I dont think that just leaving the actinics on longer is going to do it. You could try moving them to a more shaded location.

Mine look different too depending on the angle you're looking at them or the lighting hitting them.

same here. I thought mine were purple until I got them into the tank. They turned out to be green, oh well.
