toadstool

I recently put in a toadstool into my tank that has perfect parameters. I broadcast fed the tank with Zooplankton it closed up pretty quickly and I haven’t seen it open much since…. Is this normal?

Hey guys, I received this Yellow Mushroom Leather Toadstool yesterday from LiveAquaria. When it showed up it looked okay, the typical stress mucus from shipping but overall okay. I acclimated and added it to the setup and it opened its polyps up pretty well and it looked as though it would...

Hi all! I was doing a water change today and noticed a neat looking hitch-hiker on my toadstool coral. Problem is, I don't think my toadstool appreciates the company, especially with that weird brown gunk on the side (doesn't come off with a toothbrush). The toadstool seems healthy otherwise. I...

Toadstool has been up and down as it naturally does over the few months, but more so recently. Just noticed what looks like a bright green tentacle growing from the base. There is more algae accumulation on the toadstool and polyps are in. Parasite or self propagation?

Hello! I’m new to owning leather corals, and I’ve had this toadstool for a little over a week and it’s been droopy like this since I got it. It started getting algae on it and now I’m pretty sure it’s shedding even though I was pretty convinced it was dead. A few days ago I got another toadstool...

Is this aiptasia? I've never fragged a coral before. Am I right in thinking I can cut the base of this leather toadstool to remove the plug area where the aiptasia is n discard. And then super glue the toadstool to a rock fragment. I want to check before I accidentally kill the toadstool. Thanks...

Does anyone have experience with Rapa Rapa snails and Sarcophyton? I have a toadstool coral that I added to my tank back in the middle of March. I purchased it from a LFS I was unfamiliar with so I did dip it prior to adding it to my tank with Seachem Reef Dip. It went through a fairly rapid...

Is my leather dying and if it is what can I do I dragged it for the first time and this is the next day it is defenetly shedding and it is completely lumped of never seen him like this

Hello, it’s my first time posting a thread so if I miss anything please say, I have been a bit worried about my new toadstool since it has been closed ever since I got it which was three days ago, my only conclusion is that when I was trying to get the leather out of the bag into the dipping...

I'm contemplating fragging my toadstool, it's 18" across and has been trying to self frag for months, but has not been successful. All it has done is make holes in itself. I would like to know what and how to do it? I've watched the video from @Tidal Gardens and others on YouTube. I would like...

Im not sure where to put this thread so apologies if its in the wrong place. This morning I woke up to my 40g tank leaking drip by drip. Im in the El Dorado Hills Area and are in need of a tank to house my coral and fish. If you want to buy them I'm also open to that. I currently have 2 clowns...

Are there any good tips on how I can get my clownfish pair (ocellaris) to host my toadstool leather? It’s massive I would say about 7 inches across, and was wondering if there’s anyway I could get them to do it. Thank you!

Ever since I added another light onto my reef tank, my toadstool leather has not come out. I slowly introduced the light to the reef but it still didn’t come out. Help!

Hello, I have a toadstool leather that has developed these gross looking "scabs". Out of curiosity I took it out of the tank and was able to peel some of them off with a knife. The coral seems pretty much undamaged underneath (so far at least). My question is what is this and what is the...

Hi! I’ve had this toadstool leather for maybe six months now.. it started out tall and upright but over the past couple month it’s super slumped over and not opening. It looks like his base is starting to shrivel too, it used to stick perfectly in the hole. I’ve tried moving him and nothings...

My leather isn't looking good. It has been hiding for a week, and today it looks shrunken. Not sure what the deal is. Salt 34 Ammonia, nitrite 0 Nitrate 5 Phosphate 0.1 Calcium 480 Magnesium 1450

Hi all, I have had this leather coral for a couple of months now. It is on the bottom of the tank so I dont think it is bleaching... All polyps are out during the day as you can see from the pics but at night the polyps withdraw and the skin seems to be shedding/receding. Is anything wrong with...

I’ve had “Toadstool” for almost six months and he’s done beautifully. Normal behavior of droop and shed. This shed though, I saw some darkness around his cap. Is Toad getting sick? Dying? There are sponges at the base, but they’ve delved deeper into the rock, not up his stalk. Thoughts...

My toadstool used to stand up tall, but now it’s stalk is almost horizontal. We haven’t made any changes to the tank, and have had the toadstool since it’s head was about the size of an egg. Is it too top heavy? Not enough light? Too close to the xenia?

I have recently set up a new tank with cycled water and have moved all livestock into it. My leatherback toadstool is not looking too good, and has seemed to crumple up, brown out, and have algae grow on it for the past four days or so (see pics attached). The tissue seems to be shrunken about...

Hello! I’ve had this toadstool leather for about 5 months. It looks like it’s doing well and has grown considerably, however the polyps are not opening up all the way. They are extended but the green part has never been visible since I brought it home. When I picked it out at the LFS it had the...
