Toadstool not opening
Good evening,
I've had this toadstool for about 3 weeks and lately it hasn't opened up. [IMG] http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...0001_small.JPG[/IMG] I just added two penductors to my system and am wondering if that might be the issue [IMG] http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...0006_small.JPG[/IMG] Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here is a shot of pretty much the whole tank [IMG] http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...0002_small.JPG[/IMG] Thank you in advance for any ideas.

 The last test was all normal ph is running around 8.1 ca around 440 (color blind) na/ni/am all normal Its not really in the direct flow either According to the lfs...I just put it in the tank Nothing really much in the tank as you can see

mine will not open unless there is a flow across the top if it is thumping the stalk or head it will not open and if it is to weak it will not open either you may need to try different positions to see what conditions it came from in the wild

they all do this from time to time...also, they need good flow around them..the mucous that they secrete should take no more than 2-3 days to blow off on its own..if it takes longer, you need better flow on them...also,what other corals are in the tank and what type of lighting???

Sorry lost the internet last night
I have another coral that I can't remember the name of...it is [img] http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...0003_small.JPG[/img] and a clam [img] http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...0005_small.JPG[/img] So do you think that I should move it or try to redirect the flow alittle? It did open alot when I had the locline split with just the regular flow out of the returns. I didn't think that I was getting enough flow so I changed to two penductors. Thanks
