Biota Toadstool help

Yes but away from other coral
They’re not too picky on light
Assure phosphate not elevated
Awesome thank you! Have it in a nice distance from other corals. Flowed turned up now. Only have 2 different mushrooms, zoas, toadstool, frogspawn, clove polyps, Duncan. Everything other then toadstool and zoas are healthy looking
 
50W nicrew. Was running 80% blue 15% white at the time of the post. Tank is a 30g. 24” L x 14.5” W x 20.5” tall. Light is 8” above water line. I will be upgrading to a water box aio 35.2 soon as this tank has crappy dimensions and no place for equipment
To give you some perspective, I have a 55 watt light on my 15 gallon set 80%, I have a 100 watt nicrew on my 32 gallon set at 75%. IMO your about 50 watts short for your size of tank. If you google images of toadstool coral, you'll see the stem should be short and fat, not stretched thin like yours. So I am sorry I know lights are expensive but I think the lights are still the main issue here. Good luck

No no, I appreciate that! I’ll look into adding either second 50w or picking up a 100w! And yea I was wondering as to why it was growing up and not out. Thank you very much for the input!
