,These corals can be very temperamental sometimes. Being that everything else looks good I would just give it more time. A secure base along with a lot of light and a lot of chaotic flow always seems to make my Toadstools happy. GL.

i read the article it stated "Apparently some phosphate removers release aluminum into the water, and if concentrations get too high, specimens may retract their polyps and shrivel up." im using gfo ,chemipure and a phosphate pad...
just took pad out ,,,chemipure pure has been it for 4 weeks .
i put a todo list to remove chemipure on jun 12 i put it in april 12

any kind of shiny skin or dirty skin on the head?
I used soft toothbrush and gently brush its head, and it started to open.

If you just got it, you need to find out the water conditions it came from compared to yours, if he came from dirtier water, he may not like yours right now.
If you've had him for a bit, look for shiny on the top surface, this will tell you he's shedding, and may take a week or so to shed, then will reopen.
But that being said, they are big babies, and when you make em mad, they can pout for a long time.
