i got a toadstool yesterday and when i first put it in the tank it loved it its polyps immediately extended but today it has been acting weird its polyps retracted and it started shedding i heard they do that when they get detritus on them and then it shed all of today and now its polyps came back out but now its kind of deflated and slouched over what is it doing?
