Tyree toadstool

[CNDReef]

I have a green tyree toadstool that has been closed up for some time now since I increased my lights.its been closed going on 3 weeks now without polyp extension. Everything else is doing good except for the toadstool. Should I just wait it out or should I move it to a shaded area?

What lighting do you have? And what are your parameters? I have a toadstool that was angry with me for the longest time as well.

When you say increased your lights, do you mean intensity or you swapped lights? I know mine was not happy with bright light

Intensity
My sps weren’t growing at all so I slowly brought it up to 100% on all channels except for white which is at 30%

And what was it originally at for intensity?

Is that a mushroom touching it to right of the toadstool?

 

[CNDReef]

Half dead cap, it only has a few polyps that are regrowing on the right side.
It was at 70% went up 5% every few days (one channel every couple days evenly) until they were at 100%

I just lowered it to the sand bed and brought the arch with all my sps with it :mad:
Only fragged a German blue digi colony, I guess not all bad.

Update
It started to shed and I’m starting to see some polyps

So do you think it was just sheding or did you move it and now it's starting to extend?

 

[CNDReef]

I think it was just too much light for it. It’s shed in the past and only takes a couple of days to get over it, it’s been weeks now. Hopefully I can find it a good spot on the sand

Fwiw my green toadstool is extended at 220 par. Mine likes light. In fact it grew its stalk from 2 inch above the sandbed to the top of a rock where sps is.

I use to have it in another tank getting blasted by mh with my sps. Maybe it just needs to adjust slowly to the LED’s

Possible.
