I am having problems with my mushrooms breaking apart and seem dead. I have tested the water, all fish are doing fine, and anemones are fine, but my mushrooms don't seem to do well in the tank. I have a black spiny urchin and a white urchin that climb all over the mushrooms. Could they be causing the problem? My lfs said the urchins don't bother anything, so I don't understand. If anyone knows, please let me know what could the problem be. Thanks!

I've seen some urchins that have caused problems. Usually they wouldn't harm all of the mushrooms, but I don't know much about the white urchins. Has your mushrooms ever done well or have they always done poor? Also, what type of lighting do you have? Most types of mushrooms don't like strong lighting.

Please post the lighting your using and the results from your water testing

My water test is:
0 ammonia
0 nitrates
0 nitrites
8.2 PH

The lighting is blue and white acinitic. We have the mushrooms low in the tank. I have bought 2 different kind and they have both split down the middle and died.
