Soo yesterday I have introduced this toadstool to my aquarium and he already was a little bender to the side, I place it down in the rock and in the morning he was looking like the first picture, but by the afternoon the polios have closed and he bent to the side., sorry for the blues

It's still new to ur tank getting used to it I would wait a few days and if no improvement then come looking for answers. Nothing good happens fast in this hobby. Stay patient and keep up with water parameters. Ur doing great!!

I have a toadstool also and every once in a while mine will bend over like that. It was more frequent when I first got it. I would not be too concerned yet.

I agree with others, especially while toadstools are new to a tank. They get droopy for a time period but usually recover over time. If it stays drooped for a few weeks and appears to be shrinking significantly as well, there is more reason to be concerned.

Make sure your tank has plenty of dissolved N and P and that the coral is getting good strong flow. If those are true, then this coral is just making itself at home.
