Is my toadstool ok?

[reef chicken]

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

More or less it looks fine to me and definitely not dying. 5 days is also a very short time for corals. Some corals take days or even weeks or months to acclimate to your tank.

Toadstools needs a good amount of water movement to help them stand up, in low flow they will flop over like that and the polyps won't come out.

With that said, it sounds like there were a few issue's with your tank lately so that also might be the cause, if thats the case then leave it and keep things stable as possible and it will eventually come around.

I think its just acclimating, make sure it has flow and nutrients and it should come around IMO. good luck

It will open they sometimes stay closed for weeks when they are acclimating. It is pretty hard to kill a toadstool
