What could be effecting my Toadstools and nothing else? For about 2 weeks now one of my Toadstools has been shrunken with no PE, recently the other has started looking the same. Parameters are stable with no major swings, and all the other corals are doing fine. I know they close up and shrink from time to time and it's done it before, but not this long.

After. This is the best it's looked, usually it's a lot droopier. I didn't get a shot of the other Toadstool yet, but there hasn't been any PE with that one in a week now.

It's not shedding is it? Is the bubble tip touching it at all and annoying it?
 
Seems like this is normal IMO. Mine do this quite frequently. Keep your parameters in check and all should be fine.
 
Toadstools can get rather cranky at times. One of mine did the same thing for nearly two weeks. It never shed its top layer or anything just looked all deflated. I was convinced it was going to die because it was looking so bad and refused to extend its polyps. Then one day it swelled back up and extended its polyps and has been fine since.
 
No changes to the flow and the nem doesn't rub against it. I can't tell you if it's shedding or not because I don't think I've seen them shed yet. I really didn't see anything coming off of it but my Tailspot was picking off one of them the other day like he was eating something. They still react to the light and expand, but no PE or swelling. I'll give it more time and hopefully they bounce back soon.
