Toadstool
About 2 months ago I got a small toadstool frag. No matter where I put it, it just sits there all shriveled up and melted. What should I do and where is the correct location as far as flow and light? Thanks

I would try a location w/ lower light and flow. I had a toadstool a few years ago under pc's and it grew like crazy and looked awesome, the tank also had hardly any flow

i have several sarcophytons in moderate-flow, high-light areas and they are completely loving it. one in particular has 3/4" long polyps swaying in the current. beautiful.

They can recess for a while and shed- i'd recommend moderate flow while they do this and take a little pipette and make sure the top has any detrius blown off of it...
I have one that is doing awesome now that i got rid of my emerald crab who decided to eat it =\

Hey chrisstie, that's the same thing that happened to me. I thought he just liked the color,(both are green), but could take him off and he would make a beeline right back. Reef safe my ars.
