Toadstool problem

[TheKman]

I noticed my toadstool is completely retracted, never seen it this way when lights are on.

Here are my parameters.
PH. 8.09
Temp:79.7
Mag: 1440
Alk: 8dKH
Salinity : 1.025
Nitrates: 10ppm
Ammonia: 0
Calcium: 480

It's probably just getting ready to shed. Certain softies will do this from time to time. A waxy layer will come off the coral and within a few days it should be back in full glory. It's just a normal part of the growth process.

If it remains like this for more than a week though, something might be up. Start checking your parameters, your lighting, the flow, etc.

Mine has done that several times over the past few months. It can take a several days for this process this finish.

Also check for parasites after the lights go off, just to make sure nothing is snacking on it. Check under the plug for bristle worms.

Good to know. I have a very large toad stool and it hasn't done this yet.
