Observation - Aiptasia, Mushrooms, and Anemone Tentacles

This morning the aiptasia seemed a lot smaller than it was yesterday.  FINALLY!  The peppermint shrimp is earning it's keep!

That was until later we noticed the aiptasia back to it's normal size.  Eh.  Maybe it's time to get a couple more peppermints.

Notice today a few tentacles on the anemone are wilted.  I wonder what's causing that.  They are relatively few and spread out across the anemone, but there is one quarter-sized patch that's entirely wilted.  Something to keep an eye on.

And the mushrooms look like they are doing really well.  They seem to be getting larger, which is a good sign.

Here are today's pics, along with a mushroom comparison:

Mushrooms from about 5 days ago.


The two aiptasia can be seen on the left of this rock around the side.  They are growing, too.
 Need to make them a meal before too much longer...
