Help with unhappy mushrooms

I would love some advice regarding my two eclectus mushrooms. I moved my tank in August, and since then, these two mushrooms have been unhappy. They are both quite pale, and the larger one is shriveled up and much smaller than it use to be. Neither seems to be actively dying, since it’s been going on a few months, but they’re definitely not thriving. Every other coral in my tank is doing great, including a wide variety of other mushroom types. I have tried moving the eclectus mushrooms to different locations with different amounts of flow and lighting, but nothing really seems to be working. Are there pests or illnesses that specifically target one strain of mushroom? Even my candy crush mushrooms are looking fantastic. It’s just these two eclectus.

Gave it some time
 
Have you tried dipping just to be safe? What are your tank parameters? I've always had my best luck with mushrooms in "dirty" tanks, same with zoanthids.

I haven’t dipped them, since I haven’t added anything new, but that’s a good idea. Any recommendations for a good dip?
 
First Pic the nem is probably stringing it from the close proximity. What are your parameters? What do you use for flow? Where are those pumps placed according to the shrooms

If i'm being honest, I don't really check my parameters aside from salinity anymore. But all of my other mushrooms and corals are doing very well. I don't have anything particularly finicky. I could try moving the mushroom away from the RFA, but it was unhappy in another location as well. Also the angle of the photo makes it look very close to the RFA, it's near it, but they don't touch. It's not dying, it's just been very unhappy for a few months.

I would say it's in a low-medium flow area.
