I received this neon green polyp toadstool from WWC 2 weeks ago. I am aware of how moody they can be, as well as how they are good indicators of water chemistry. This fella slightly opened up for a few days then hunched himself over and has been droopy for a few days. Today I noticed that it appears to be separating itself from it’s foot/base. The tank has been up for 3 months, other corals are doing well, few SPS with solid growth rings, all zoas have had at least 1 new polyp, LPS are so-so. Is this a last call for it’s well being?

water perams:
Temp 77.8
SG 1.025
PH 8
Nitrates 5
Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Alk 9.8
Mag 1425
Cal 440
Phosphates .06ppm
20g tank
2 clowns, 1 firefish, 1 watchman goby, 1 tiger pistol shrimp, few snails, few blue leg hermits.
2x Kessil a80.

That was a manual light setting for pic purposes. But I will try to relocate it. It did show polyps for a few days but it never perked up, always seemed to lay kind of low and hunched down.
 
Is it attached by a rubber band? When I lost one of mine, it got rubber banded too tight, and wound up looking like that before melting.

I do not recall noticing a rubber band, but I will check to see if I can salvage it.
