Leather toadstool

[Ragin]

I got an toadstool Friday and he still hasn't opened up, I've moved him to see if it helps but still all he does and barely let his tentacles out, very little, what should I do?

Leathers can be a bit touchy. If you tick them off, they can pout. I'd put him in a spot yiu like, then leave him alone, in due time he will open up. And they will do this from time to time, sometimes to shed.

Ok thx, I sure hope he opens up soon, I've got him to his self at the edge of the tank so hopefully he likes it

They may remain closed for a few days and sometimes a week or more when moved or when shedding their waxy layer off. Strong water flow can help slough off the film layer to speed up their polyp opening.

Yes I have had them close up for weeks it seemed!

Wow, ok, we'll when he finally opens I'll post a picture of him

I hope it works out for you. I bought a toadstool leather and it was never happy in my tank! Good luck!
