Just recently purchased a ricordea mushroom 2 days ago and now recently the middle of coral is becoming completely white and stringy instead of having the nice colorful bumps that ricordeas usually have. I was wondering if these were just the tentectables or whether the coral was dying or falling apart.

The white stringy stuff is actually the insides of the riccordea. They do that when they feel threatened or irritated. How long has it been going on for? If its alive, it should be back to normal tommarow, if it is dead it will start becoming like mush.
