Hi all,
I just bought a tonga branch with some red mushrroms recently. They have been in my tank for about a week. I noticed they are a little shriveled and some have fallen off. I also see some more that are begining to fall off. WHy is this? Are they not happy?

You don't list any water parameters, but assuming all is ok, I would introduce the mushrooms to areas in the tank that are reasonably low flow and low light. Once they've adjusted you can probably begin to move them around accordingly. But strong direct flow wil almost certainly detatch a mushroom polyp.

also... a little bit more info would be needed such as flow and lighting.
