Droopy toadstool

[lakes1985]

Hi just introduced a toadstool to my tank and it's drooped over with head on the sand, it's in the tank about 2 hours now, will it rectify itself?

This is it

It will give it time

Sometimes it even takes a lot of time.... days, not hours.

That corner might be a little "still" for it try giving it some more flow....☺

They can stand straight up in completely still water.

I agree with reef lover. Increasing the amount of chaotic flow the coral is receiving might help it perk up. GL.

Yup sure can but from what I've seen they prefer to have some flow.....☺

I don't think I expressed that correctly. They will need flow, but they do not flop over when the pump is turned off, for example. If it's only been in there a couple of hours, don't start messing with it yet. This is so very common for a leather, especially a toadstool, to do.

Thanks everybody for your input, it's getting some flow in that corner as I have the wave maker pointing in that direction. Il just give it time seems to be the general idea?
