Can you post some pics of your toadstools, preferably hosting some clowns.

Here's a couple of our Clarki and "Nemo" hosting our two toadstools.

KTSDAD - What kind of flow and light is your toad under? Mine used to open up just like yours, and once I put it in my new tank it hasn't been doing good.
It's usually flat w/ no tentacles out, and even when some come out, it's only part of the coral. The other areas are bald w/ no tentacles out.
Thanks

I am wondering why my toadstool doesn't have long tentacles? is mine a toadstoll or a mushroom?

 

[joe123]

do you feed it plankton daily?

 

[euphoria]

I don't feed it. I only feed phyto to my orange carnation and yellow gorgonian

There may lie your problem. Try phyto.

We had this guy in a 60 reef under 485watts of PC with descent water flow and no phyto and it did pretty well, was growing slowly. It would go for days without opening.
Our new 250 has 1000watts of MH and 3600gph of flow. Once we put him in there he has grown at least 25% bigger in 4 months, still no phyto - just plain fish food.
I saved a smaller guy from a nasty tank that wasn't healthy at all. I put him in this tank 4 months ago also and it has doubled in size.
I would guess my luck is attributed to the lights, that is really the biggest difference.
Good luck!

Awesome guys

ok guys I'll try to feed this guy phyto as well. Since it doesn't have it's tentacles out lately, do I just spray the phyto and water mix into it's top, and is there an optimal time to do it?

 

[feixjai]

how do you get your toadstool to curl up like that? i would want my toadstool like that instead of a big circle.

[fishboy091]

Not all toadstools were created equal. Some just have long tentacles and some just have short tentacles.. and since when does toadstools eat phytoplankton.. did you mean zooplankton?
