Dying BTA & Mushroom? Pics included

[sheria]

Hi everyone. I was just wondering if my BTA and mushroom were dying. My water quality tests seem to be okay. Everything else seems to be thriving. (Various LPS, softies). I currently have 4 x 96 watt PC (2 10k and 2 actinic). The BTA is rarely ever fully inflated. You can see from the picture how the tips are a bit shriveled. I was wondering if this is normal? I fed him a silverside for the first time yesterday, and he seemed to have ate it. As far as the mushroom goes, it was just smooth yesterday. Today it has many of the spikes potruding from the top. The white on the side of it i think may be scarring from my bubble coral (he was a bit too close). I am debating on what I should do with either one of these specimens. I dose B-Ionic daily. And supplement DT's live phytoplankton every other day. What do you think I should do? Thankyou!
