Picked this toadstool coral up from LFS yesterday along with a rock with 5 mushroom heads on, the toadstool had an aptasia on its rock base so the guy injected this pink stuff onto it, he said it would upset the coral and if it didnt look better after 2-3 days cut it, he said where the dark line ends cut it there with a very sharp knife, the polyps have come out today but the actual toadstool is bent over, is it time to cut it, any ideas?

Toad stools need significant flow especially when acclimating.
With that said I would probably cut the crown off and use a tooth pick or fishing line to attach it to rubble. Use a very sharp instrument. Run some charcoal.

Don't accept rock or frag plugs with any Apitasia.
