Toadstool dying?

[LMDAVE]

I've had this one about a week, it never stood up straight yet, usually all of it's tentacles are out, but now each morning, it half out, now a quarter out. IS this dying or going through a shedding phase? Still acclimating?

Flow is decent in this spot. All parameters are normal.

Temp 79
Sal 1.025
Nitrate 5-10
Ph 8.2
Alk 8.5-9
Cal 425
Phos 0.07

Being that he is extending some tentacles, he's probably just acclimating to your system and lighting. These guys can sometimes go a couple weeks closed up. They don't like alot of flow, just enough to move the tentacles. Try lowering the flow a bit to see if it perks up. Otherwise just keep an eye on it :)

Well the flow is from the other side of the tank (30” wide) and just a 565gph, just enough to give the toadstool and it’s torch neighbor some flow for them. This is a bigger pic a few days ago, you can see the powerhead
