Toadstool coral not opening

[David]

It’s maddening when that happens isn’t it?

Yes.! I really like that one.

The toadstool is shedding again, but this time I can see a few specs of polyp color. That’s a good sign. It has been in a never ending cycle of shedding, scabbing over, and shedding again.

I bet it will be a beautiful color when it is done shedding!

It is a beauty when open. It is a super nice green. I remember how impressive it was in the store when I bought it. It was looking even better in my tank for a while.

I think is coming around. I think I’ll leave it on the bottom, and see how it does for a while. The pistol shrimp, doesn’t dig in that area, so I don’t think anything will bother it there. It has been there a few days, and nothing has.

The Toady is now doing well, with more polyps every day. Can a toadstool live right on the sand with a little rubble? Or should I try to find a low ledge for it. Here is a pic of its current placement . I don’t generally see people keeping these on the sand, but I thought I’d seek some opinions.

I think it will fine on the sand bed with some rubble.

The toady is opening up daily. I still haven’t quite gotten the polyp extension it once did, but its getting there. It has grown back quite a bit of the size it lost. It’s still down on the bottom. it’s a good spot for it where it has room to grow without shading other coral.
