Shrooms are just so hardy of a critter they are most adaptive to what
they get and its really hard to screw em up. I personally have never
seen a shroom that was naturally w hite. I have obtained shrooms that
were white and almost to thr point they were almost transparent or at
least opaque from being buried under the sand or way back under live
rock etc. They all recovered over a period of time and took on a
coloration of one degree or another. Heck I had a shroom I had placed
in a plastic cup one day to relocate to another tank that I forgot
abaout, and it sat in little to nno water for close to two days and
the wife moved it off the top of the aquarium to the back of the
counter in the spare bath we use mainly to accomodate the associated
fish keeping requirements. It set in there n the dark for over a week,
and it recovered in no time once it was restored to a proper
environment. Your water parameters are not really out of line from
what I seen previously or to the point that it wold cause a problem
with a shroom. I sure do not know what to tell you. I hate to
question the integrity of them actually being a shroom.......

There is not a chemical warfare situation going on between them and
the other corals is there? I just do not have any kind of answer or
something other than relocate them to offer at this point.
