Toadstool leather question

[estubbaly]

I have this nice little leather that swells up every day when I turn the light on and the polyps appear to extend fully but they don't open at the tips...what can I do to get them to fully extend and open up?I've tried moving it around and had under all types of flow (soft,moderate,heavy)
it's currently under pc lighting but I did have under mh for quite awhile and that didn't seen to affect it...I keep the salinity at 1.025 temp around 72.

I just stopped moving mine.... after awhile it will look like it's suppose to... now my clowns are hosting it... I moved it a half dozen times and pissed it off every time....So I stopped messing with it..

Yea, just leave it on one place and let it settle. IME toadstools are one of the most adaptable and durable corals you can get.

Don't stress and it won't either

It's been like 9 months...

The tips on mine will not open if the Alk is too low.

 

[JohnK]

can you post a pic? I'm confused as to what's happening with the tips?

what type of fish you have in your tank? any small angels?

Temp seems pretty low to me. Bring it up to 78 or so(slowly over a few days), might help.

That was my first thought too.
