How fast did your toadstool grow?

it really depends on the varsity and the conditions in your tank.
 
so they will open in basically any conditions I have seen. they will not THRIVE in bad, but they will partially open their polyps, maybe a little, maybe a lot.
I recommend medium flow, ive seen it grow the most in there.

first day was the size of a dollar coin, 6 months 3 times the size, now its at maybe a little below the size of a tennis ball(or pool ball)

Was 2” wide 3 months ago. Now 6-7” wide.
 
It has good flow. Not enough to rock it. Just lay the polyps wave.

My parameters just dropped a little. When I get back home I have to dose magnesium. It’s usually around 1350. Dkh is usually around 8-10. But everything is really healthy.

I've seen many leathers not do too
Much for the first 6 months in a tank... then really take off rather nicely. If it's not actually shrinking, it could still be in its 'settling in' mode.
