I have a large Solomon Island Mushroom I got at one of the BR shows from Greg Hiller, It was about 1.5" by 1.5" when I got it and grew to about 12" across and was always healthy and still growing even when I broke my wrist and pretty much stopped all maintenance on the tank for 12 weeks it was doing great.
I am getting back in the groove with water changes now and things are looking better in the tank except for this leather. The base seems to be rotting away or being eaten by something.
It is secured to a rock that is buried in the sand for stability is that possibly the issue, the base needs to be out of the sand? the dark spots made me think some kind of flatworm but looking closer they look like just dark spots and are not anywhere else on the stalk other than where it is rotting away.
Any thought on this? I Might dip it in some coral X just as a precaution, can't hurt at this point I guess
