Help ! Iv recently upgraded from a 49l tank to a 130 litre. The tank had been cycling for the past 5 weeks. Transferred my live stock over 3 days ago and now my lovely large toadstool coral has flopped ☹️. I’m still learning with this hobby. Please advise on how I can help my much loved toadstool

If you're just transferring all the contents from a smaller tank to a larger one, there's no really any reason to cycle the tank. The live rock supported what was in the smaller tank so it will always support what's in a larger tank as long as no other life forms have been added. The only difference is you have more water. Makes sense?

As said, they don't like to be moved. It may shed it's outer layer off and then perk right back up. I would definitely give it at least four or five days before getting worried.

As others have stated, I would just give it a couple of days. When I would move my toadstool, it would take a few days for it to come back out again.
