Hi Allen,

I copied and pasted some info I found on the online. This has been my experience with them as well. They shed whole


Toadstool Coral Shedding
Leather corals are unique as they have the ability to shed. This happens about once every one to two months and is a natural part of how they keep algae and waste off of them. When your toadstool coral is getting ready to shed, you might notice that it changes colors and has its tentacles retracted for a couple of days.

It needs to be elevated and provided good medium flow and moderate lighting
