That's right a year. January 2014 was the last time this thing was doing well.
Earlier in the year I broke down my tank for aefw, QT'd and dipped all my acros. The toadstool never left the tank. I did get too much Bayer residue in the tank and killed off my pod population. My derasa clam also died possibly from the bayer residues but I can't say for sure. The toadstool is known to close up for a month and shed. This one is closed up and hasn't opened since earlier in the year. It has a brown algae that covers it also. It gets asterinas on it eating the algae but it's always done that before while shedding once it sheds the asterinas are gone off of it. It's still firm and stands upright and every now and then I see I green polyp or 2 sticking out. It never lasts long and closes back up though. I've moved it to the frag tank with no luck and just now moved it into a smaller tank where I can keep it from tangs eating the algae and free of asterinas.
Any suggestions on helping it out?
