Mushrooms getting rather small!

I have a few batches of Mushrooms which were a good middle size. They are now ¼ the size, all of them. All my other corals look great and water is testing fine. My one concern is that my Xenia are reach the 100 level and maybe it is steeling all the nutrient from the mushrooms? Any ideas? I have 1 to 5 new Xenia every other day. Also some of my mushrooms are three years old, from my original tank.

When you say your water is testing fine, what are you testing for?

Have you always had them under MH? If they were recently switched the light probably is killing them. Mushrooms don't like lots of light. Are they bleaching out any at all?

Water Test - Calcium, ALK, Almonia, Nitrate, Nitrite
MH- Had since February, Maybe i will move them to my sump and see if this is the problem.
