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.
 
Its weird

Was fine in old aquarium

Baby toadstool that transferred with it is opening and extending polyps

Calcium 400
alk 10
Salinity 1.025
Nitrates 10 or less
Phosphates 0

we did need to cut stalk down side off of overflow-

cup of toadstool still firm and holds shape
 
New lighting so moved down and now back up 3/4 way up where it was in old tank

there is flow around it
