AquaCorals.com Weeping Willow Toadstool

I recently bought what was titled a weeping willow toadstool coral with the size 2" - 3" on this website https://www.aquacorals.com/index.ph...adstools/product/153-weeping-willow-toadstool I have the coral in my tank, but my coral doesn't flow at all like the mother colony does in the video they had on their website. Is there something wrong with mine?

How long have you had the coral in your tank? It may take a little while for it to acclimate and fully extend its polyps. You may also need to up the flow.

I just got it in my tank today, but it hasn't extended further than in the pics in around 5 hours. Shouldn't the polyps still be really supple and extended like in their photos no matter the flow?

Not necessarily, and if it's only been in your tank for 5 hours I'd say it's looking pretty good. I had a toadstool that took over a week to fully open up in my tank.

It will open up over time. Could even close up and shed soon. That is a nice piece. I purchased a few corals from them and they are growing great. So are the cucumbers I got from them.

What par and what was the key for it to extend for u? I bought one a few months ago and have tried a few different spots but continues to look the same!

Wow, I thought maybe they just slapped a fancy name on that toadstool. But it’s looking nice!! I had a great toadstool several years ago that also acted like yours... took a week or two to really flourish. It then really took off and grew like crazy after a couple months of stability and no hands in the tank.
