Hi everyone, i recently got this frogspawn coral had for about a week and it hasn’t really opened up since getting it. I have moved it around the tank trying to find the right place for it but it doesn’t look to happy any ideas what could be wrong?

I'm sorry, but that frogspawn is as good as dead. The flesh is almost totally gone.
 
It's a type of coral that aggressively stings nearby corals.
The mushrooms can also kill other corals. It's best not to put different types of coral too close to other types. These aren't flowers in a garden, and some don't co-exist well

okay i will move it it has only been in that spot for two days and i hadn’t seen the mushroom touch it
 
There is zero flesh ban. Did you buy it like this? I like to see at least an inch of flesh ban on the skeleton under the head when I’m buying a torch, hammer and frogspawn. Sorry but this one doesn’t look like it can come back. Here is the flesh ban on one of my torches, the white is the flesh.

i’ll keep this in mind for next time i didn’t know about this flesh ban. I can’t remember exactly if it had a flesh ban or not when i purchased
 
Start the next one on the sand.
I did actually start this one on the sand but my fish kept on whacking it so it was being moved around a lot and flipped so i moved it up so it was out of the way

I see.

Maybe a frag rack down low, or a pile of rocks?

I completly understand, I have a diamond goby and can have nothing on the sand.
