ok guys so i haven’t kept any leathers in a decade plus got this toad stool about 5 days ago and he has been shriveled up and kinda white colored.
i noticed when i first got it. there was an aptasia attached to the rock it was on so i pulled it off. about 2 days went by tested my water. and turns out my newly added chaeto has bottomed my phosphates out to 0.00 per hannah. and the same time my heater broke and my tank got up to 84 for about a day or so. so i dosed some phosphorus got them back up to 0.45 but it still doesn’t look good. however i did notice once i dosed the phosphorus within about 2 hours is started standing up for the first time since i’ve had it. athena i noticed there is another aptasia attached right at the base of it touching it, im sure it’s irritating it but i wouldn’t think enough to make stay shriveled up. all other parameters check out good all other corals doing well. any advice for me or recommendations? does it look like it’s dying? i’ll attach pictures from the last week
