Toadstool dying/dead

[seth16]

It's been a few days since adding the toadstool which was initially doing fine until it kept getting knocked over. It's now covered in brown scabs and edges are looking paler, will he survive?

I don't think it is going to make a come back. I could be wrong. Before adding anything else, I'd address whatever is causing the hair algae issue you have.

My parameters are in range I just can't find anything that will touch the stuff so I have to get a brush and try and scrub some off but can never get into the small pores and cracks and I don't want to remove the rocks to kill it off. I currently have another leather and other coral that are doing great its just this one that seemed to act up after it was knocked over.

I gotcha. Hair algae is a total pain in the backside. I have battled it myself. You are leaching from somewhere. I would definitely try and track down from where. That will help in your battle. As to your original question, unfortunately I don't think your coral is going to make it.

Best of luck to you

I don't think the coral is doomed, but it's definitely a little upset at the moment. I'm not exactly sure where you have it placed in your tank, but IME these corals like a quite a bit of light and a whole lot of chaotic flow. If you've got a spot that's suitable you might want to move it there for a few weeks or so and see how the coral responds. GL.
