NEEED HELP! NEW Toad Stool issues

[ReefGeek_11]

I got this toadstool from my LFS yesterday and I acclimated him to my tank, and at the LFS he was standing straight up and polyps were fully extended now he is slumped over and looking like this...is it flow? Lighting? Someone help thanks. Permit era are great and every other coral is looking great.

That's normal for toadstools. I had one that took over a month to finally stand up and the polyps to start coming out.

you are going to start seeing it peel off the "skin" either blow it off with a turkey baster or some good flow. after its done peeling it should look better than before.

Dont' mean to scare you but I had the same problem! First with a devils hand, then weeks later with a toadstool. I took the hand back to the shop and after a week it recovered.. I told the reef shop my toadstool was doing the same and they said wait it out a week and put him in some flow. well a week later he started falling apart (not shedding) and died. Like yours mine looked happy and healthy in the shop but never in my tank. I have 12 other different corals and have no problem, so I don't understand why leathers don't like my tank. let me know how it goes
