Green mushroom looks sickly.

Hi - After a 30 year break, I’m back in the reefing game. Backgound; transferred an existing 100gal basic reef setup w/livestock & equipment. Tweaking & upgrading a few things and started building up the inhabitants. The green mushroom from a local, reputable store doesn’t look right to my amateur eyes after two weeks. He’s ~2’ below a Kessil 360x in a medium flow area attached to his original rock piece. All other softies are doing just fine. Water parameters are good using Coral Pro salt. Help??

I can’t see anything wrong with that mushroom, do you mind outlining the issue?

Welcome to the Reef

Looks fine in my opinion! Just may need some time to color up. Both mushrooms look fully extended and lack any clear signs of stress. Welcome!

Thanks all. The increasing brown made me nervous. Call it new parent nerves.
