Do you have proper lighting for coral and adequate flow?

yeah I have a few in my tank. Started with one head. Be careful, they get huge and can take over whole rocks. Mine are at least 6" across and I have 4 of them. Treat like star polyps or xenia or they could take over

Is everything else in the tank doing OK? Do you check your alk and calcium? Melting mushrooms sounds like more than just poor flow for a few days but let's hope an expert can chyme in. Hope they all make it
