    The color change is good.
    Like brown polyps turn green when they get enough light. Mushrooms will do the same.

    yes I moved the mushroom lower and it looks better now
    although its getting green paches which people say its a good sign
    I think my water is fine I test it every other day now, but my nitrate are around .10ppm
    is that bad for corals?

    All Nitrates are bad. The lower the better.
