Oh why, Oh why wont my Sarco/Toadstool open.

[Dont Ask Me]

I was given a fluro green on purple sarco from my local LFS as they were overstocked and he couldnt sell it as it wouldnt open properly, so i thought sure ill give it a go why shouldnt it open everything else i have is thriving, i have had it a week now and still opening properly and shedding skin.

Every morning i wake to find it with a few polyps sticking out here and there and a nice fluro green look to the "mound" but still no extension, my water parameters are perfect, i have ample lighting, but place it at the bottom of the tank as it is a softy afterall, every day at midday it sheds a little then fully retracts for the rest of the day.

Any help, advice or abuse would be greatly appreciated as i have never had a toadstool leather before and would love for it to open up as the colour is amazing, also note all other corals are doing more than fine.

Moderate to strong lighting and flow, give it time it will open, just be patient
