I have not the best light but I have lots of flow in the first photo of that leather is it sitting in a rock on the sand can I keep mine on the frag plug it comes in and sit it on that in the sand and should the toadstool grow up to the lightThey are fairly easy and pretty hardy. They can be temperamental and stay closed at times. Mine will close for up to a week or more when they shed. Just mentioning that because folks not familiar with them tend to worry when that happens. They need to be attached to a rock that they will grow on. If you buy one it should be attached to some type of rock. They can not be glued like coral but need to be allowed to grow on the rock. Some people use rubber bands or fishing string to secure them to the rock untill they attach. Mine like a lot of light and flow but I've seen them kept in lower light and flow as well. These are two of my 3. The third is being temperamental today
Just throwing this out there since you said you were new. I've had good luck with Sinularia which is another type of leather and have been pretty easy and hardy. Mine love high flow and light. I find high flow caused them to grow big thick stalks which I prefer over long and skinny.
These are my two Sinularia,one neon green and a plain one.
Yeah I’ve heard about the pulsing pink Sinularia is that the one you have I’ve heard they can get big but ther really coolThey are fairly easy and pretty hardy.

No they don't pulse. They can get large but I've also seen some huge toadstools.Yeah I’ve heard about the pulsing pink Sinularia is that the one you have I’ve heard they can get big but ther really cool
I’ll get some more smaller rocks for my tank so I can put the toadstool on when it put growsNo they don't pulse. They can get large but I've also seen some huge toadstools.
They do grow toward the light. One will outgrow a frag plug pretty quickly. I really need to mount the one of mine on the sand to a larger rock.
This is the one I’m thinking about I’m not sure if they pulse but I saw someone on YouTube that had this coral and it was really big and clown fish were hosting itNo they don't pulse. They can get large but I've also seen some huge toadstools.
