Are they turning pale? You should move them to stronger light, they may not be getting enough. I've seen these guys absolutely need light and need to be away from detritus in your tank.
Once in a while, I take my turkey baster and blow off a lot of detritus from my brown spotted shrooms and red spotted shrooms and man, a lot of detritus pile on them. You should do the same, maybe there's detritus underneath them that's bugging them.

Hello , thaks for all the input, my parameters are normal except alk is pretty low, especialy when I do a water change,4.5 - 1.60, I add alk buffer,light not sure they been in same spot for 9 mos and growing, the bulbs are 14 mos, I know is time for replacing, still not sure what it is all I can do is wait, if I moved them is like starting all over, lack of space.
Yes I've been in MoVal for a while
