One of my Blue - Purple mushrooms that I have had for 10+ years just bounced. o_O

These are same mushrooms that have been around club forever, I first had them back in 03.
Got some again back in 07 when I started up again in my new house.

I have read that any mushroom can bounce based possibly from UV.
I did add a single kessil A360X light to middle of tank few weeks ago.
But this mushroom is not in line with that. Its as far away in tank as it could be (2 feet) from the new kessil and behind rock.
These mushrooms have been under the same Kessil a360we for about 6 year. (maybe light bounce of glass)

I also added back in December a pair of the Orphek blue led bars.
But I believe the bounce has occurred only recently. I just noticed it when pulling out some green pally's.

Pictures taken with 15K lens which matches actual color best I believe.

Do you have a good way to control these shrooms. I have them also and the are gobbling up restate and encroaching other corals :mad:
 
Very nice. Maybe try and isolate it in a basket or something like so and maybe it'll fully develop and hopefully not disturb it! Looks awesome...
