i hav had 9 blue mushrooms for 6 months,starting last week i noticed 2 gone and 2 more half eatin i think it happens at night but hav not seen anything strange other than some type of little shrimp looking think.anyone hav any ideas.

maybe you got a true carribean firewom? theyre a specific type of bristleworm that is kinda rare but does hitch in and munch corals. theyre pretty secretive and you probably wont see em unless you stay up all night.

is the little shrimpy a pod? cant think of anysmall shrimp that munch corals except peppermints but they very rarely eat corals bigger than themselves.

Little thing is probably a pod. It could be a eunicid worm eating your mushrooms, i am pretty sure i have a Palola worm, about a foot long and 1/8" thick i only see it at night but i havent had any lost corals... If you have a bobbit worm its bad news. Try looking in your tank with a red flashlight at night they have really good eyesight and are fast.
