newbie worried like a new parent

[brettdis]

we aquired this guy. Honestly we bought it at a shady looking pet store. Had it in a tiny little tank no lights no powerbeads. nothing. Just him sitting in the water. Felt bad for the little guy. employee was like its just a coral. well i was offended. employee didn't know it was a living thing. Sad. anyway we brought him home. our tank had been up and running for about 4 months. Really wasn't ready for a coral but at least we have a light and powerheads. He was laying on his side and all shrivelled up when we bought him. he has done ok considering. The other day I noticed he has this white spot. should I be worried?

Rest assured, as you’ve purchased on of the grumpiest corals around , it open and not shrunken , polyps out so it’s happy and healthy.

It’ll shed that part of the skin soon I’d wager.

thanks. I will keep on eye on it see if it sheds.

Looks fine to me. Toadstools tend to be pretty bullet proof.
