Toadstool problem

[FchriReefID]

My toadstool slumped and retract it's polyps. I've had this leather for 6 month now and then 3 month ago I relocated it here in the 10 gallon. It had doing well since I moved it here, it's getting good amount of flow and light, no problem at all. Then suddenly this happen. It has been like this for a week now, I've did 20% water change twice and it doesn't change anything. The other corals look happy with full polyp extension.

I little worried cause it has never been like this. A few week before I saw it shedding for 2 days and the polyps stretch out again, but it doesn't slumped when it was shedding

What should I do?

What are your parameters?

Toadstools are known to be moody corals and appear slumped over and retracted just to open fully again in 2 weeks.

Can you post your parameters?

This is normal. The will molt and then come back better than ever

Salinity: 1.023
Temp: 29°C
That's what I can give you for now, I haven't got Nitrates and Phosphate test kit earlier, but I just on my way home with the test kit, I'll let you know afterwards

Your temperature is quite high- it should be between 78°F and 80°F.

I started with 1 and it did what yours is doing. I thought the top was just to heavy for it. It would do what your showing and describing.
Year later I have 5 BIG ones. Mine split then split again some upright and some slumping over. They close up for a few days. I did worry then they come back so now I don't think about it.
Here's a shot of mine.
The green one does the same that's 2 months old started the size of a quarter. They all slumped over but then grew to the light.
Maybe in the new tank it dosent like the light.
Hope this helps

Yeah, I've thought about that since I set up my first tank, it's quite hot here in SEA. I had thought to buy a fan but the toadstool has never been bothered by the temp before, so I change my mind.

Wow, They all look gorgeous!

I've changed my light before, from blue dominant spectrum to more white aquascape lighting, cause the old one's dead. Maybe I'll save some cash to buy a new light. Thanks for your advice!

Good news, it shedding and start to extend it's tentacles slowly. It hasn't get up yet, but I see it's getting there. Thank God, I'm so relieved. Thanks for y'all advice and suggestions! It gives me so much insight.

Idk if it's the picture or if it has algae on the trunk.
If it's on the trunk you should blow it off or lightly brush it off with a toothbrush or whatever you use.
