I have had a really difficult time keeping these altogether. I have tried 2 frags with no success. Everything else is doing awesome but these things.

when i neglected my tank a few years back the GSP grew quite qwickly, so did my mushrooms. I second the poor/dirty water quality. And they didnt need much light to grow, i had them growing like mad under 2x20w PC in a 10g.

What type do you have, Snakeskin or purple mat?
I find they like a good flow with a bit lower light. I keep mine on the sandbed. I also found they do best when the alk isn't too high.
