Toadstool problems : (

I bought a small green toadstool at the Palm Beach Marine Aquarium Society frag swap and it was looking pretty good, but suddenly it looks as though my emerald crab might have taken a chunk off of it. It seems to be declining everyday and I'm not sure how to go about trying to save this coral. Any advice would be appreciated, here's a picture of the toadstool...

I had to put one of my emeralds in the fuge for that exact reason. Every time the toad would put up its polyps the emerald would yank one off. Since I put the emerald in the fuge my toadstool is doing good.

this is a bad month for toadstools. I lost mine in a bit of a crash. Then Evolust's fell over into one of my frogspawn that he was babysitting and it nuked the toad.

The mushroom may be stinging it.
