toad stool info

[Divemaster561]

I have had a toad stool for over 3 months now in a 20gal tank with live rock and other smaller corals. The toad stool has been thriving and has even shed. I noticed the light I was using was causing algae to bloom so I removed the light and the toad stool doesn't seem to like it. I have two maroon clowns in the tank with the toad stool that for some reason stay at the top of the tank and don't explore the reef.. but anyway I have cycled a larger tank, and placed beached sand, live rock and other corals in the tank and they are thriving.. should I move my toad stool to the new tank? I also just introduced a baby hippo to my larger new tank. Will the toad stool and my pair of clowns be okay in the larger tank with a baby hippo? or should I keep the clowns and toad stool in the smaller tank and add a new light? ( I've already ordered new lights ) But I'm wondering if I should move the Toad Stool to the new tank that all my other coral frags are doing great in now..

The toadstool is photosynthetic and feeds off light - if you remove the food source, the animal will suffer. I would get a light on there and then it should be fine. How long has the light been removed?
The maroon clowns might be hosting the toadstool like it's an anemone. That may be why they don't leave the area much. Totally normal.
The tang and the clowns can go together if you want. You could move them into the other tank, but the issues with the toadstool are connected to light. On that case do whatever you want.
Hopefully that helps

The toadstool needs light, I think it would be good in either tank as long as there's light

Toad stools seem toile a nice steady flow as well as the moderate to. strong light

It doesn’t matter what tank its in. It needs light. And either tank will grow algae in new tanks from light. Just cut it back a bit.

Toad stool did a full shed, I added a new light that he loves. The clowns are kinda starting to hang around him.. I have a pink bubble tip I may put with the clowns that I have in another tank.. I think bta is stinging some of my frags.. she's moved a few times but is healthy! Picture is dark I edited it from my phone
