Angry Angry Mushrooms!?

hey, i recently picked up some blue and green shrooms.
today i noticed their mouths were protruding a bit. but
they're semi-open to open. is that a big deal? bad? good?
they're my first shrooms so im not sure about it.

Discosome mushrooms tend to open thier mouths when they are stressed. This is probably due to acclimation. With proper water and lighting, your mushrooms should be be fine in no time.

yea, i wouldnt worry too much about it. especially since they are new. it can take corals several weeks to settle in. just leave them be and observe.
