Toadstool is roughly 12" across when open. It shed it's skin and has sense been completely bent over with it's head all the way in the sand bed. All other coral is completely fine including clones of itself. Just changed the carbon after it shed. But it has been doing this for over a week now. Tried adding more flow to it but which ever side flow hits it it bends over in that direction.

If anyone has had this issue with larger toadstools any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like a goner. Did you expect this coral to shed its skin? That doesn’t sound right.

It's normal for leathers to shed they do it to get all the algae and things off of them and they look awful for a few days but normally bounce right back. Not sure what mine is doing, it's never done this before. Polyps are out but barely it's like it's depressed.
