My toadstool was fine 5 days ago. It, along with my other toadstool then went into shed.. both had a shiny surface, one has since shed and is doing great.. all polyps extended. This one hasn't shed yet... and now I'm noticing a brownish layer forming over it?

Is it dying? Is there anything I can do?

Hi, at this point do not see any necrosis ,looks like algae growing on molt skin,
some take longer than others to shed, would leave be for now , any black or gray areas start to form come back here

Ok so watch for any black/grey.... cool. These are my first toadstool corals so not sure what to expect. I thought as both went into shed together they'd be finished around the same time.

I'll keep an eye on it, thanks guys!
