Toadstool not opening

[muggle0981]

Almost 3 months in and toadstool still not extending any polyps

Moderate light and water flow. Take a turkey baster and blow gentle blasts at their tops ( may have a film until it separates). Direct water flow towards them, not at them. A little iron also makes them happy.
