Tell me about it! At first I fed them all the time wanting them to grow, then they got so big and the tentacles are so long they became most of my 12 gallon and I can't put them in my main tank because my maroon tries to host, they closed up for over a week even after I got them away from her. I gotta buy a dremel and frag them up if I want to keep them. They don't get fed anymore. They are weeds. I have a green toadstool like yours that grew super fast as well but almost died in a tank heater malfunction, I had to frag it to save it and ended up with about seven the size of the original frag.
I want to get a duncan. I went to my LFS last week and they had one for $100 with 3-4 heads. They had a tag for $28 for one head, but it was sold.
When I took out my toadstool, there was a little flesh left on one of the rocks and a couple weeks later I saw it was growing a teeny tiny toadstool. Im so glad because I really liked my toadstool, it was just waaaay too big.
