82 degrees too high for a toadstool leather?

[baldwinaquaman]

is it? Anyone have any good facts on keeping them?

No, but if you tank temperature drops below 80 at night, I would say yes.

A toadstool leather will live at water temps that high, but 82 is about the upper limit you really want your tank to be at.

Agree with mfinn. They are relatively hardy and can usually stand a lot.

My tank (in the summer ) will reach 84 easily, and I have a huge toadstool approx. 8" across and 8" tall. If my tank wasn't so crowded I would think this toadstool would have split many times.. but it's kinda land locked..

I lowered the thermometer to 80 degrees. SO i would say it would stay around 80 at night, and in the day when the halides kick on maybe a degree or more higher, hopefully this will be ok. thanks for the input. Anyone care to share their feeding methods, and what they feed/how often?
