Should I flip my toadstool?

[Mat1018]

Toadstool frag seems to be growing sideways. Should I turn it so it faces upwards?

I would say no as it gets bigger its potion will change from my experience on its own. I personally thing it looks kind of cool like that

Yea the little frag rock it was on it looked like it started to grow straight then turned 90 degrees.

 

[degibson84]

it should reach up and out towards the light on its own

It seems pretty content how its sitting all the small polyps come out so as long as its happy ill let it grow how ever it wants

Are they under high light and is the flow moving in that direction?

I have a bunch like that (mine are small types and only grow to be about 3-4" across). They'll grow with the current rather then the light, if the lighting is more then enough for them. Mine have been steadily 'walking' (as the new stem growth anchors the old growth dies off) across the rock they started on, until they hit the edge and now at growing horizontally away from it.

Its are under t5ho and the flow blows by infront of it. At the store it was sitting like that also and it seems really healthy.

Definitely don't turn it. They just do that (flop over and deflate) sometimes. When you have a new acquisition they just need some time to adjust to your water chemistry. Mine used to do that all the time initially but after adjusting it stopped flopping over.
